Often, to assess the economic state of the country, such an economic indicator as GDP per capita is used. Everyone knows about the existence of GDP. This is a term people often hear in economic news. But, unfortunately, not everyone knows what it is.

GDP is gross domestic product. In simple terms, then GDP is a measure of the value of goods and services produced by a country. These are all products and services produced in the state, which are expressed in monetary terms. Often this indicator is expressed in US dollars due to the fact that the US dollar is one of the most stable currencies in the world.

Today, there are two types of GDP:

1. Nominal is the total volume of products and services produced, measured in current prices, that is, in values ​​that are relevant at the moment.
2. Real GDP is the total volume of goods and services produced over a certain period of time, measured in basic values. Base prices are fixed prices.

The difference between nominal and real GDP is that real GDP can only be affected by changes in the volume of goods produced. While the change in the indicator of nominal GDP is directly affected by the price of products and services sold.

The ratio of the nominal to the real indicator in the economy is called the GDP deflator.

In other words, the deflator is a measure of the difference in the overall level of values ​​in an economic sector.

The total GDP is divided by the number of citizens living in the state.

Surely everyone is interested in the question: what is the level of income of the population in different countries. In this article, I will introduce you to infographics: no need to spend hours looking at statistics. At first glance, it is clear: in Australia, the income of the population is more than $ 3,500, and in India it barely reaches $ 700. Ready to satisfy your curiosity? We look at the average salary level in the countries of the world in 2015.

Income level of the population and average wages by country

Salary in Europe

The distribution of wages in European countries occurs exactly according to the color spectrum: the more western the country, the higher the value of the average wage. True, Spain and Portugal "fall out" of this rule: instead of the standard for Western Europe $2500-3000, their monthly income level (after taxes) is $1500-2000. But the price level cannot be compared with neighboring France and Italy. Therefore, tourists choose hot Spain and Portugal for a long vacation.

In Eastern Europe, the Czech Republic ($1,020), Slovenia ($1,275) and Poland ($905) boast the highest wages. Therefore, if you are thinking about a career abroad, these countries can be considered as a good springboard. It is important to remember here that the “average salary” is an analogue of the average temperature in a hospital, and for qualified personnel, the value will differ by 2-3 times.

Countries by Wage Level: North America

With North America it is even more interesting: we have the opportunity to compare the level of income in the States. For example, it will come as a surprise to many that California, with Silicon Valley and the Hollywood Hills, is inferior in terms of average wages to the states of Washington, Wyoming, Nebraska, Virginia, New York and (attention) Alaska. At the same time, California is breaking records in real estate values.

Central America: countries by salary level

South America

Africa

The map of Africa resembles a red-orange desert: the level of income of the local population here rarely exceeds $500. There are also countries marked in gray - this means that there is not enough information on them to be included in the report.

Against this background, there are only two positive green islands: Angola (average salary at $2,650) and Gabon (about $1,700). The fact is that in addition to agriculture, the extraction of oil, gold, diamonds and ores is also developed here.

Asia

The map of Asia also does not please with an abundance of countries with a high level of income. The list with an average salary of $ 1500 includes only: Japan, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, Israel, Oman.

But I would like to tell you about the state of Qatar, which you most likely did not immediately notice on the map. The small peninsula is home to 2 million people. But Qatar ranks first in the ranking of countries in terms of GDP per capita, and 14% of households are dollar millionaires. The main income of Qatar is oil production. In the structure of GDP, it is 60%.

Gross national income (GNI) / Gross National Income (GNI) is the total value of all goods and services produced during the year in the territory of the state (that is, gross domestic product, GDP), plus income received by citizens of the country from abroad, minus income taken out of the country by foreigners. One of the key indicators of economic development.

A country's GNI can be substantially less than its GDP if a significant portion of the country's income is taken out of the country by foreign companies or citizens. On the contrary, if the citizens of a given country own a large number of securities of foreign companies or governments and receive income from them, then GNI will be greater than GDP. However, for most countries in the world, GDP and GNI do not differ significantly and are often considered interchangeable. The term "gross" means that the value of capital consumed in the production process has not been excluded from the total market value of goods and services produced. If this were done, then not a "gross" but a "net national product" would be obtained, practically equal to the national income. In practice, however, the words "product" and "income" are often used interchangeably, so the indicator "gross national product" is also called "gross national income".

Gross national income per capita is GNI divided by the average annual population of the country. This indicator gives an idea of ​​the amount of goods and services produced per inhabitant of the state, or, in other words, how much each inhabitant of the country would receive if the entire annual national income were distributed equally among all citizens of the country. GNI per capita is also referred to as "per capita income" or "per capita income".

The GNI per capita index is one of the basic ones in international statistics. This indicator is often understood as an index of the standard of living or well-being in a state or region, however, it is only an approximate measure of the well-being of the population of a particular country, since it does not take into account a number of important factors, in particular:

Does not show how evenly or unevenly incomes are distributed among the citizens of the country (for example, in countries with the same GNI per capita, there may be a significant difference, for example, in the share of the middle class or in the share of the poor, since in reality most of the national income can be concentrated in the hands of a narrow group of the population).
Does not take into account the damage caused by production to natural resources and the environment.
It does not take into account unpaid work done in the household or on a voluntary basis, as well as all production in the shadow economy, which can be quite significant.
Gives equal importance to both useful and harmful products for society (for example, certain medicines, cigarettes, weapons, and so on), while ignoring the value that free time or freedom has for a person.
In the methodology of the World Bank, which annually calculates indicators of national income per capita in the countries of the world, all states and territories are classified into three categories:

High income per capita countries ($12,616 and up).
Middle income countries per capita ($1,036 to $12,615).
Low per capita income countries ($1,035 and below).
This is the official analytical classification of the World Bank. The World Bank's World Development Indicators database serves as a source of information. Fixed during the financial year (ending June 30) and updated annually (updated statistics are usually published in October-November).

The data are presented as of 2012 (published in July 2013, updated in December 2013).

Russia is a country with a vast territory and, surprisingly, no less colossal difference in the average income per capita in the regions. However, this is not surprising, since the potential of the regions in economic terms is significantly different, so some regions and autonomous republics of our country simply cannot earn money on their own, receiving funds in the form of subsidies on a residual basis.

The average per capita income is one of the most important economic indicators that show the attractiveness of a particular territory for living. Therefore, it is on him that the majority of the inhabitants of our country pay their attention before moving to a particular region of Russia. Today we will talk about what is the average per capita income, and what are its values ​​in different regions of our country.

What is this indicator

The average per capita income is one of the most important indicators, which determines the well-being of the inhabitants of an entire state. It represents the average income that citizens of a particular territory earn or receive. This indicator is calculated from the national or regional income, which is divided by the total population of the state or territory. At the same time, this indicator cannot be compared with the gross domestic product and the domestic national product, these are completely different indicators.

When conducting interstate comparisons, a single currency is used to calculate the average per capita income. As a rule, this indicator is calculated in US dollars, but other monetary units can be accepted for calculations. For domestic payments, as a rule, the national currency is used. Thus, domestic rubles can also be used to calculate the average income in the regions of Russia.

It is important to remember that the definition of the well-being of the population in this way is not without its drawbacks. In particular, this method has the following main disadvantages:

• purchasing power is not taken into account. Therefore, in order to obtain more accurate data, it is also necessary to calculate such an indicator as purchasing power parity;
• differences in the distribution of funds are not taken into account;
• own savings of residents of the state or territory are not taken into account;
• population capital is not taken into account.

So, we found out what this indicator is. Next, we will figure out in which regions of Russia people live richer, and in which they live poorer.

As we have said above, the range of indicators of the average income of the population in Russia is huge. Moreover, nowhere in the world is there such a difference in values ​​as in our country. This is so noticeable that most of the publications involved in the calculation of these indicators even compare the domestic regional product with the gross domestic product of the states of our planet in their news and articles. The results are very mixed.

Thus, in the United States of America, which is slightly inferior to Russia in terms of area, the difference in indicators of the internal regional product is incomparably smaller. Alaska is considered the richest region of the United States, while Mississippi is the poorest state. The average income of the population between them differs only 1.8 times. At the same time, in Russia, the poorest region lags behind the richest in this indicator by 32 times. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are regions on the territory of the country that, in terms of GRP, are comparable to the GDP of the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, France on the one hand, and the backward countries of Asia and Africa, on the other. So, let's figure out how the population of our country lives in certain regions. But first, a few notes:

• all calculations are made in US dollars, the purchasing power parity is taken in accordance with the calculations of the University of Pennsylvania, whose specialists assessed the purchasing power of the ruble;
• the purchasing power of the ruble in the regions of Russia varies greatly. Thus, if one or another product or service in Transbaikalia can be bought for a ruble, in Kamchatka it will cost two, and in the central part of our country - about 72 kopecks.
  This was taken into account in the calculation.

1. There is nothing surprising in the fact that the Nenets Autonomous Okrug took the first place in this indicator, the internal regional product of which is at the level of 91.8 thousand dollars. Only a little over 40,000 people live here, but at the same time, 18,000,000 tons of oil are produced on its territory, which is more than 3% of production in all of Russia. Therefore, in terms of income of the population, the Nenets Autonomous Okrug could take third place on the entire planet, yielding in this indicator only to Qatar and Luxembourg.
2. The second place in the rating of life in Russia was taken by the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug. The average per capita here is about 76 thousand dollars.
3. The third place is occupied by the Yamalo-Nenets Okrug with an indicator of 50.0 thousand dollars. In general, the top three in terms of income can easily compete with the Asian oil-producing countries: Saudi Arabia, Brunei, the UAE, Kuwait.
4. Sakhalin region. The per capita income in this region is $32,000. In fact, this figure is only slightly inferior to the United States and most of the developed countries of Western Europe and Asia.
5. Moscow's internal regional product is also at the level of individual European and Asian states. The average per person here is 25.4 thousand dollars, which is higher than in Portugal, but inferior to countries such as Italy, Spain or South Korea.
6. The northern capital is located even lower, although here the average income indicator remains quite high. So, on average, about 18.0 thousand dollars per person in St. Petersburg, which is close to Hungary and exceeds the gross domestic product of Turkmenistan, which actively exports gas to the Asian region.

In total, the average income in Russia is approximately 16.3 thousand dollars per capita. In the world ranking, our country is located immediately after Croatia and before Chile. Unfortunately, most of the administrative-territorial units of our country have a much lower GRP than in the above areas. So, the level of the Republic of Komi is inferior to Lithuania and is slightly higher than the Kazakh one. The Kemerovo region in this indicator competes with Malaysia. Orenburg is slightly behind Mexico. The Magadan region has a GRP at the income level of Venezuela.

Many regions of our country have an average per capita income comparable to Ukrainian or Chinese. These include Tver, Rostov, Saratov, Belgorod regions. Here, the average income is at the level of 8 thousand dollars. A little lower is the Lipetsk region. The Moscow region is far behind the capital, this indicator in the region is inferior to Turkey and slightly exceeds Panama. Residents of the Krasnodar Territory have an income at the level of Brazil. The Jewish Autonomous Region is close to China not only territorially, but also in terms of the average income of the population.

The weakest indicators traditionally have the southern republics of our country. Thus, residents of Ingushetia on average receive only 3.3 thousand dollars, the Filipinos and Vietnamese can boast of similar indicators. The lowest standard of living is in Chechnya, where residents earn only 2.9 thousand dollars per capita, which is close to the level of Djibouti. Other approximate republics, such as North Ossetia, Karachay-Cherkessia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Dagestan and others, have not gone far. These regions remain subsidized, with virtually no production and only underdeveloped agriculture.
