- 7. Per capita income, the average income found by dividing a country's total income by its population, is the most common measure used to compare countries and is used by the World Bank to classify them. However, it is an incomplete measure for several reasons. Being an average, it hides the differences between people — two countries with the same average income may have very different levels of inequality, and a high average can exist alongside widespread poverty. Moreover, money cannot buy everything that makes life good: a clean and safe environment, good health, education, freedom and respect are also vital, and these are not captured by income. For these reasons, development is also judged by other indicators of the quality of life, such as those in the Human Development Index.
