The task of categorizing countries as rich or poor is a complex one, and traditional measures such as GDP can be misleading due to population size. GDP per capita alone does not account for price differences between countries. For instance, the cost of a Big Mac can vary significantly in different regions, even after converting to dollars.
To obtain a more accurate representation of a country’s economic status, The Economist uses three key measures: dollar income per person, income adjusted for local prices (PPP), and income per hour worked. These factors provide a comprehensive analysis of a country’s financial well-being.
The rankings generated by The Economist using these three metrics offer valuable insights into the financial well-being of nations around the world. By considering variables like price levels and productivity, a clearer picture emerges of how countries compare in terms of economic prosperity.
