Understanding GDP per capita

GDP per capita is a common measure of a country's economic output per person. It's calculated by dividing the total GDP by the country's population.

While GDP per capita provides a useful indication of economic well-being, it doesn't account for income distribution, quality of life factors, or economic inequality within a country.

Example

If a country has a GDP of $2.1 trillion and a population of 330 million people:

  • GDP per capita = $2.1 trillion / 330 million = $6.36 billion per person

This means that, on average, each person in the country generates approximately $6.36 billion in economic output.
