1. I agree, because GDP itself is the main measure of a country's economic
productivity. A country's economic GDP shows the market value of the goods and
services it produces. Legislators use GDP when making fiscal policy decisions. The
central bank's economy uses GDP as an important factor influencing monetary
policy action.
GDP per capita is often analyzed together with GDP. Economics uses this metric
for insights on their own domestic productivity as well as productivity compared to
other countries. GDP per capita considers the GDP and population of a country.
Therefore, it is important to understand how each factor contributes to the overall
results and how each factor influences GDP per capita growth. There are several
ways to analyzed a company's wealth and prosperity. GDP per capita is the most
universal because its components are regularly tracked on a global scale, providing
ease of calculation and use. Per capita income is also the second alternative for
global prosperity analysis, although this is not widely used.
GDP per capita shows how much the value of economic production can be
attributed to individual citizens. This means a measure of national wealth because
the market value of GDP per person is also ready to function as a measure of
prosperity. If a country's GDP per capita grows with a stable population level, then
it has the potential to be the result of technological advances that produce more with
the same population level. Some countries may have high GDP per capita but a
small population which usually means they have built a self-supporting economy
based on many special resources.
Thus, a country may have consistent economic growth but if its population
grows faster than its GDP, GDP per capita growth will be negative. This is not a
problem for most developed economies, because the rate of economic growth that
is still warm can exceed the rate of growth of their population. However, countries
with low GDP per capita levels can initially have rapidly increasing populations
with a small GDP growth that results in erosion of stable living standard
