3. Guyana
Guyana (about which some of you probably are wondering whether or not it was located in Africa) ranks third in our list of the 5 poorest countries in South America. A considerable portion of the population – above forty percent are living in poverty and about two-thirds of them are living life in an environment of the inhumane deficit of funds. The problems which hinder the improvement of these statistics are mainly centered around the very poor infrastructure there and the lack of skilled workforce.
