KESEJAHTERAAN PENDUDUK ANTAR NEGARA DIUKUR MENGGUNAKAN GDP PERKAPITA DAN GDP-PPP PERKAPITA
Abstract: Generally, percapita
GDP in US Dollar is used to measure the everage welfare in a country.
Forhermore, the level of welfare between countries can be compered using
percapita GDP. However, the price differences among countries make the
comparison is not accurate. GDP purchasing power parity (GDP-PPP) is created
inspired on theory of purchasing power parity (PPP). The average income
percapita between counties that same as percapita consumption of goods and
services is more accurately measured using percapita GDP-PPP. The price of
goods and services in percapita GDP-PPP are assessed using international
prices.This study used data from 183 countries in period 2005-2010. The study
found that the average income among countries in percapita GDP and percapita
GDP-PPP are not different. The study also discovered the large inqualities of
walfare between countries in the world. Nevertheless, the inequalities are
relatively more meaninfull when the percapita GDP is used rather than percapita
GDP-PPP is used. It is found, if using percapita GDP, the average income per capita of low-income
economies, middle-income economies, and some high-income economies are measured
too low, on the other hand income percapita of some high-income economies are
measured too high. As consequency, the percapita GDP-PPP for low-income
economies are more than three times larger than percapita GDP. How many times
the percapita GDP-PPP large than the percapita GDP are reduce when the income
percapita of the countries go up. It also found, there are many countries that
move to higher group of income when using percapita GDP-PPP.
