Perhaps, it’s difficult to argue that it’s better to live in a rich country than in a poor one. As of 2024 year data, the basic indicator of the economic development - GDP by purchasing power parity per capita - was:

● In Kosovo - 18,1 thousand dollars,

● In Nicaragua - 8,59 thousand dollars.

Thus, according to the gross production per one person, Kosovo leaves Nicaragua behind by %.

Where do they earn more?

Let’s compare the data about minimum labor level pay in both countries.

● The minimum wage in Kosovo set at €264;

● The minimum wage in Nicaragua varies from 4,487 to 9,346 cordobas (US$ 133-278).

Where is the crime rate lower?     up↑

One can evaluate the general level of criminal situation with the help of “crime rate”. This indicator is calculated by the portal Numbeo, which specializes in rating scores of different life aspects in all the world regions and shows how safe it is to live in the country from a risk of becoming a victim of lawbreakers (the higher the crime rate is, the higher the risk is). As of 2025 year, the crime rate is:

● in Kosovo - 40.8;

● in Nicaragua - 50.8

To estimate the population law-abidingness and law enforcement activity, let’s pay attention to the statics of premeditated murders and to the data about the number of Kosovars and Nicaraguans, being imprisoned.

Yearly out of 100 thousand people, murders kill:

● in Kosovo - 1.99 people;

● in Nicaragua - 11.01 people

As of 2023 year, in prisons and criminal camps the number of inmates is:

● in Kosovo - 1.83 thousand, or 100 prisoners per 100,000 people;

● in Nicaragua - 20.9 thousand, or 332 prisoners per 100,000 people

So, if we consider the risks connected with the crimes, the safer country is definitely Kosovo.
