  • Irreligious countries are the most charitable
     OP - March 30, 2010, 05:05 AM
    I found this interesting list on Wikipedia:

    --
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_charitable_countries#Official_Development_Assistance_by_country_as_a_percentage_of_GNI_.282006.29


    Large countries score relatively high  because they have more citizens and thus more money. To provide an alternative perspective, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development also lists countries by the amount of money they give as a percentage of their gross national income. This list is as follows:[1]
    1.  Sweden - 1.02%
    2.  Norway - 0.89%
    3.  Luxembourg - 0.84%
    4.  Netherlands - 0.81%
    5.  Denmark - 0.8%
    6.  Ireland - 0.54%
    7.  United Kingdom - 0.51%
    8.  Belgium - 0.5%
    9.  Austria - 0.47%
    10.  France - 0.47%
    11.  Finland- 0.4%
    12.  Switzerland - 0.39%
    13.  Germany - 0.36%
    14.  Spain - 0.32%
    15.  Australia - 0.3%
    16.  Canada - 0.29%
    17.  Iceland - 0.27%
    18.  New Zealand - 0.27%
    19.  Japan - 0.25%
    20.  Portugal - 0.21%
    21.  Italy - 0.2%
    22.  Turkey - 0.18%
    23.  United States - 0.18%
    24.  Greece - 0.17%
    25.  Hungary - 0.13%
    26.  Czech Republic - 0.12%
    27.  Slovakia - 0.1%
    28.  Poland - 0.09%
    29.  South Korea - 0.05%
    30.  Thailand - 0.04%

    No surprise really that the Scandinavian countries are up there as well as the Netherlands. They seem good at this sort of thing; you know, giving a shit about people and humanity.  Smiley

    It is the donations/aid given by official organizations, so private donations aren't counted.
