The summer solstice occurs in the northern hemisphere when the sun is at the most acute angle above the horizon. It usually occurs on or about June 21.
North Korea's economy is in a dire state. Analysts estimate per capita income is $1,000-$2,000 (Â£640-Â£1,280) per year. Compare that with South Korea, where per capita income is almost $20,000. That means that even at the higher end of the range, North Koreans make just 10% of what their average southern counterparts make. One estimate says it works out to about $4 a day. However, information coming out of North Korea is very unreliable and so the numbers could be much worse.
In Japan, the average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is USD 26 111 a year, more than the OECD average of USD 25 908 a year. But there is a considerable gap between the richest and poorest â the top 20% of the population earn more than six times as much as the bottom 20%.In terms of employment, 72% of people aged 15 to 64 in Japan have a paid job, above the OECD employment average of 65%.n Japan, 62% of women have jobs. This is more than the OECD average of 58% but much less than the 81% employment rate of men in Japan. This 19 percentage point gender difference is higher than the OECD average of 15 percentage points and suggests employment opportunities for women could be improved.
