Question 3

A development agency sees that Country Merin has a high GDP per capita and concludes that almost everyone in the country must have a high income.

Why may this conclusion be incorrect?

[1]
A

GDP per capita is an average, and high incomes received by a small group may conceal the low incomes of most households

B

GDP per capita uses the income of a household of average size, which may not represent larger or smaller households

C

GDP per capita measures the gap between the highest and lowest household incomes, without showing either household's income

D

GDP per capita totals all household incomes without adjusting for population, so populous countries tend to have higher figures
