Mean income or consumption

The average income or consumption per person per day, adjusted for prices.

This is the average income or consumption per person per day, adjusted for inflation and for differences in living costs between countries, in international dollars at 2021 prices. The World Bank's Poverty and Inequality Platform builds it from national household surveys. Rich countries measure income after taxes and benefits; most low- and middle-income countries measure consumption instead, including food people grow for themselves. Surveys change over time, so some years compare less well. Our World in Data republishes the figures.
