The newest published figure for each, as each country’s profile prints it. A multiple is given for the two sizes only.

01The answer first

In short

Vietnam’s GDP per person is the higher of the two: Philippines 10,748 and Vietnam 15,457 international dollars at purchasing power parity (World Bank Group, 2025). Philippines’s GDP per person was the higher of the two from 2000 to 2002; Vietnam’s has been higher in every year since 2003.

Philippines has 1.1 times as many people.

Measured as places in each statistic’s own field, the two are furthest apart on emergency funds (26.72 and 80.53, World Bank Group 2024), adults hit by natural disasters or severe weather (77.54 and 9.934, World Bank Group 2024) and low birthweight (21.14 and 6.311, UNICEF and WHO (Joint Low Birthweight Estimates) 2020). They are closest on labour productivity per hour (12.01 and 12.7, ILO 2025), historical GDP per capita (8,371 and 8,050, GGDC 2022) and egalitarian democracy (0.169 and 0.163, V-Dem Institute, University of Gothenburg 2025).

For 36 of the 366 shared statistics the newest readings describe different years. Those rows print both years and are left out of every comparison above.

Nothing here counts the statistics on which one country is placed higher than the other: such a count would weigh a minor survey question the same as life expectancy. The one overall answer this site gives is the Country Index 2026, below.

How many statistics compare Philippines and Vietnam?

366 statistics from 64 publishers measure both. 43 more measure only Philippines, and 10 only Vietnam; those are listed under each subject rather than left out.

Why do some rows give two different years?

For 36 of the 366 shared statistics the publisher compiles each country’s latest survey, so the two readings describe different years. Both years are printed, and those rows are left out of every comparison in the summary.

08Method

Sources and how to read them

Every value is the newest reading the publisher issued, exactly as each country’s profile prints it: Philippines and Vietnam. A rank is a number the publisher printed; a position · derived is this site’s ordering of one published statistic; a standing is a place in the Country Index 2026.

Where a publisher compiles each country’s latest survey, the two readings can describe different years. Both years are then printed, and the row is left out of every comparison in the summary. How every number on the site is read is set out on the methodology page.
