The richer the people, the more charitable the country?

The wealthiest countries in the world are not always the most generous, as the World Giving Index by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) found. For the 10th edition of the ranking, the UK-based nonprofit organisation asked 1.3 million people in 128 countries between 2009 and 2018 about their acts of generosity in three areas – helping a stranger, donating money and volunteering time to charity. Based on the findings, here we count down the 30 most generous countries in the world.
