Most people don’t understand the advantage of being born in country with high GDP and standard of living. But it’s a huge advantage. Child born in Singapore will be more likely to became successful adult because of availability of resources and access to essential services. But for child born in South Sudan (the newest county in the world) even schooling will be a big challenge. In developed countries people take for granted most of things. People from the poorest countries don’t have enough resources to utilize their potential to the maximum.
