World's Highest Foreign Aid Per Person?
Just read an artical about Pitcairn Island. It has just 41 inhabitants yet gets on average £3.5 million a year aid from the UK.taxpayer. Another £6.5 million has just been approved.
I make that as over £85,000 per person per year.
Of the 41 inhabitants 26 have paid employment ,only 8 are under the age of 50. Just 3 people applied to move there last year and none of them actually made the move.There is serious concern that the population will die out. Is this the highest per person aid in the world and is it justified?

Residents of the Island all receive either a government wage or a pension paid by the UK as well as child benefit. They pay no tax.
so £85,000 a year each and no tax! , mind you there is no airport and only a supply ship once a month. I don't think I will retire there.
