Nepal
Definition
- Nepal has experienced persistent poverty throughout its recent history and it is likely to do so into the near future. Nepal’s per capita income of $700 in 2012, with a growth rate averaging just over 2 percent for the past two decades, contrasts with those of India and China—the two large and fast-emerging economies sandwiching this landlocked country.
