Comparing national income data between countries helps understand their economic condition, development

level, and global position.

Per capita income is calculated by dividing NI by population. It reflects the average income of a person and

indicates the standard of living.

5. Comparison with the Economic Condition of Other Countries

Countries use NI to compare economic performance with others, which helps in improving policies and
