Frequently asked questions
What does GDP per capita show?
It is total economic output divided by the number of people, a rough measure of average prosperity that allows comparison between countries of different sizes.
Are there limits to GDP per capita?
Yes. It is an average, so it hides inequality, and it ignores unpaid work, leisure and environmental costs. It is a starting point, not a full picture of wellbeing.
