We post videos daily, okay, so let's get into this video and our first country
I want to look at is India so India is located in South Asia
And it's the seventh largest country in the world by area and the second most populous country behind the country of China
the Republic of India was established back in January
1950 after it gained independence in 1947 and proclaimed a new
Constitution in looking at the stats of India now the population of India is 1.35
Billion people so one out of every six people on the planet live in India the population density of India is 380
7.9
People per square kilometer and the land area is three million two hundred and eighty seven thousand five hundred ninety
square kilometers moving on to the country of Bangladesh
So Bangladesh has one of the largest populations in the entire world
But really due to its relatively small land mass its population density is one of the highest in the world
so in the year
1971 Bangladesh became an independent nation and now taking a look at the population of Bangladesh
It is a hundred and sixty six point three seven million and this makes Bangladesh the ninth most populous country in the entire world
And now the population density of Bangladesh is one thousand one hundred twenty seven point three eight people per square kilometer
And it's land areas a lot smaller than India at one hundred and forty seven thousand five hundred and seventy square kilometers now
let's take a look at the money and the economy for these two nations the currency that India uses is the Indian rupee and
One Indian rupee equals zero point zero one six US Dollars and in Bangladesh the currency is call
the Bangladeshi taka and one Bangladeshi taka equals to
0.01 two US dollars the economy of India is the world's sixth largest economy by nominal GDP
And is the third largest by purchasing power Perry an interesting note in the year 2015 and the year?
2017 in his economy actually became the world's fastest growing major economy
surpassing, China
And now the India's GDP is approximately 2.2 six trillion dollars
And the GDP per capita is six point five seven
Thousand dollars now looking at the top experts in India these numbers are from the year 2016 India exported
256 billion US dollars making it the 18th largest exporter in the world
Amongst the top three exports of India was refined petroleum at nine point nine percent
Diamonds at nine point three percent and jewelry at four point nine percent and now looking at the imports of India
Also in the year 2016 India imported three hundred forty four billion dollars u.s.
Making it the 14th largest importer in the world and the top three imports for India are crude petroleum at 18 percent
Gold at 6.6. Percent and diamonds at 5.5 percent
So those are India's numbers now
Let's look at Bangladesh his numbers for its economy the economy of Bangladesh is a 44th largest in the entire world by nominal GDP
And it's actually the 30 second largest by purchasing power parity in the year 2016 the IMF declared that
Bangladesh's economy would be the second fastest growing economy of 2016 with a rate of 7.1%
And now the GDP of Bangladesh is
195 billion dollars and the GDP per capita is three point three four
Thousand dollars now when it comes to exports now the most recent estimates were that Bangladesh
Exported thirty five point seven billion dollars making it the 55th largest exporter in the world and the top three
Bangladeshi exports are non knit men's suits at 16 percent
Knit t shirts at 15 percent and knit sweaters at 12 percent
Looking at Bangladesh is imports now the most recent numbers indicate that Bangladesh
Imported 38 point three billion dollars u.s.
Making it the 54th largest importer in the world and the top three imports for Bangladesh were heavy pure woven cotton at 3.5%
Refined petroleum at three point three percent and like pure woven cotton at two point nine percent
Okay, so now with that all being said I want to move on to the living cost so which country is cheaper India or Bangladesh
Let's take a look looking at the concept living in India compared to Bangladesh we see that in India the food is 13%
Cheaper housing is 6% cheaper clothing is 58 percent more expensive
transportation is 33% less in India personal care is at three percent more and
Entertainment is at 17 percent more so all in all India is 11 percent cheaper to live in than in
Bangladesh and the final number is to look at is the national debt for each country so
National debt for India is 1.1 trillion dollars and the debt per citizen is
928 dollars
Bangladesh is national. Debt is a lot less at 168 billion dollars, and it's debt per citizen is at
435 dollars alright guys so that concludes your side-by-side comparison of India and Bangladesh
