36. For comparingcountries, their income is considered to be one of the most

important attributes. Countries with higher income are more developed than
others with less income. this is based on the understanding that more income
means more of all things that human being needs. Whatever people like, and
should have, they will be able to get with greater income. so, greater income
itself is considered to be one important goal. Now, what is the income of a
country? Intuitively,the income of the country is the income of all the residents
of the country. This gives us the total income of the country. However, for
comparison between countries, total income is not such a useful measure.
Since, countries have different populations, comparing total income will not tell
us what the average person is likely to earn. Are people in one country better
off than others in a different country? Hence,we compare the average income
which is the total income of the country divided by its total population. the
average income is called per capita income.
() What does per capita income mean?
