The information on this chart might be scrutinized for reliability because of discrepancies between literacy rates and GDP per capita. For example, North Korea has a literacy rate of 100% but a low GDP per capita of 1,800. This raises questions about the accuracy of the reported literacy rate or the country's economic development. Similarly, Hong Kong has a higher literacy rate than Taiwan, but its GDP per capita is also higher. This contradiction might lead to doubts about the reliability of the data.
