GDP per capita (current US$) Ranking

Per capita GDP is an indicator calculated by dividing a country's total output by its population, showing the average economic wealth of each citizen. This ranking is useful when comparing living standards and levels of economic development across countries. The top positions are occupied mainly by developed countries such as Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Norway, which are characterized by advanced industrial bases and high productivity. Conversely, developing countries in Africa and Asia rank lower, reflecting their lower stage of industrial development. However, it is important to note that this indicator represents an average and does not reflect income inequality within a country.
