1960: Countries, Population, and Per Capita GDP, Alphabetically

1960: Countries, population, and per capita GDP, alphabetically

1960 Data from the book book The World Economy: Historical Statistics, Angus Maddison, OECD Publishing Development Centre Studies, 2003

The book gives GDP using Geary/Khamis dollars; see

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geary-Khamis_dollar

The pie chart converts these to the same scale as used in the

2005 GDP table by multiplying by 1.372104

Data is not available for all countries in 1960. The far

right column gives the 2005 list so it is possible to see

which countries are missing from the 1960 list (most of

these are very small). Also note that the 1960 lists includes

countries such as Yugoslovia and the Soviet Union which have

split up since 1960.

The population is listed in thousands.
