Why is Japan Wealthier Than Pakistan?

Question

Why is Japan Wealthier Than Pakistan?

Answer 1

Japan was destroyed in WWII and was totally rebuilt with Billions of US dollars. Since Pakistan never tried to annihilate the US it did not stand a chance.

Answer 2

Better education system, for starters, means more people able to work in lucrative activities.

Add to that a good measure of political stability; the Pakistani government is the object of frequent coup and political intrigue, murder and terrorism; those things are not really good for business.

Answer 3

Japan is an MEDC, and is wealthier because it has the support of major franchised companies in the country. they have materials to do amazing things. Pakistan, on the other hand aren't as developed a country as japan, this maybe due to the lack of infrastructure or simply the way of life.
