Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GDP per capita is an average measure of national wealth per person. If it rises, it means on average, wealth has increased, but it doesn't specify how that wealth is distributed. Some people may have more wealth, while others may not see any change, or could even be worse off. It doesn't necessarily mean that everyone has more wealth (D), that there are fewer poor people (B), or that everyone has less wealth (A).
