The chart below, based on data from the IMF, shows change in real GDP per capita in Chile and Venezuela since 1980. GDP per capita has increased by 177% in Chile, but has fallen by 22% in Venezuela. According to the CIA World Factbook, 14% of Chileans live in poverty, compared to 32% of Venezuelans (the latter figure, from 2013, is almost certainly an underestimate).
