It was seven percent last year.<br>
<br>
For comparison, for France and Germany it was less than 1%, the USA 1.9%, Russian Federation 1.3%, etc.</div></blockquote></div><br><br>wait until the black market will get integrated into the European figures, coming soon ;-)<br>
<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">more seriously, if you look at GNI (Gross national income) per capita, in Tanzania it was 630USD for 2013 (or 52,50 a month).<br><a href="http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GNP.PCAP.CD/countries/TZ-ZF-XM?display=graph">http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GNP.PCAP.CD/countries/TZ-ZF-XM?display=graph</a><br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">For comparison, in France it was 42250, Germany 46100, USA 53670, Russian Fed 13860 etc.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Please note that these are average numbers, i.e. if this is not distributed evenly (never the case), you will have a lot of people earning even less. <br>
<br>Potential mappers are people with enough time, money and sufficient education / access to computers, my guess is that in a very poor country like Tanzania is undoubtedly there is a very small amount of these (in other words: if people struggle to survive working all day long, they won't have time to participate - money for equipment left aside).<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Please also note that internet connection fees are much higher in Africa than they are in Europe.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">cheers,<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
