This metric represents the average daily consumption or income per individual, adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP) as of the year 2017, providing a standardized measure for economic welfare across diverse populations. By focusing on the total population, this indicator facilitates a comprehensive analysis of economic well-being, reflecting both consumption patterns and income levels within a specific socio-economic context. It serves as a crucial element in evaluating the growth trajectory of overall welfare aggregates, helping policymakers and researchers identify disparities and trends in living standards. Understanding this average allows for better informed socioeconomic strategies and interventions aimed at enhancing the quality of life for all citizens.
