<p>Overseas Territory governments have devolved powers for self government and are
responsible for economic policy. However, the UK works to support them in partnership
in line with the 2012 Government White Paper.</p><p>Most of the UK Overseas Territories
are defined by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as
High Income Territories. But the Gross National Income (GNI) per capita levels in
St Helena (including Tristan da Cunha) and Montserrat mean they are defined as Upper
Middle Income Territories, and therefore eligible for Official Development Assistance
under OECD rules. St Helena (including Tristan da Cunha) with a population of around
4261, Montserrat with a population of around 4922, plus Pitcairn (whose population
of around 50 means it is too small to feature in the OECD rankings) are in receipt
of assistance from the Department for International Development.</p><p>Data on unemployment
and per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP), for the inhabited UK Overseas Territories
are in the attached table. This information comes from a variety of public sources.</p>
