Between the years 2012-2017, there was a great increase in the perception of corruption in Italy alongside the human development index . Over the years, Italy has struggled with freedom of press and regional imbalance. Over the five years, Italy was governed by three different prime ministers, thus experiencing political instability causing increase in the perception of corruption.

Though the change in perception of corruption is not as drastic as Italy's, it is considerably higher. Nearly 25-30% higher. During the years leading up to the 2016 election, increasingly corrupt scandals and views were made public as the race towards the president's office continued. This may have sparked the increase in perception of corruption.

In 1962, the government began a series of 5-year national plans for economic development, and the national economy began to grow rapidly. The per capita GNP rose from about 80 dollars in 1960 to 1,600 dollars in 1980, and passed the 10,000-dollar mark in the mid 1990s, before the country faced an international financial crisis at the end of 1997.
The main mechanism for economic development was government-led industrialization. Realizing the fact that Korea is a country of rare natural resources and abundant educated manpower, the newly-installed military government, led by President Park Jung-hee, pursued a labor-intensive and export-oriented industrialization.
