Why PPP matters:$50,000 in Norway buys less than $50,000 in India. PPP-adjusted income compares what money actually buys — a Big Mac, a month's rent — making cross-country comparisons meaningful.
Put It In Context
The world's richest 1% own more wealth than the bottom 50% combined. But income inequality within countries has been falling in much of the developing world, even as it rises in the US and UK. The global median income has roughly doubled since 2000 — 1.2 billion people have left extreme poverty in 25 years. Your position on this ladder shifts dramatically depending on whether you compare to your country or to the world.
