CompareFollow the selected indicator from its value to its history.
Displayed reference years run from 2018 to 2025. These are each indicator's published periods, not a single-year country snapshot. A comparison may use an older common period; follow Compare to check it.
The notes below use the currently published values. Years and sources may differ across indicators.
Yemen's published GDP per capita refers to 2018. Do not treat it as today's economic level or directly compare it with another country's newer GDP. Population and life expectancy below may refer to different periods. Compare uses GDP from a period available for both countries; without a common period it does not create a difference.
