How to read this chart

The source adjusts for price gaps between places. Its international dollar is a way to compare values, not money you can spend.

What this does not show

This is output per person. It does not show the pay of a typical household.

  • Output is not household income, health or free time.
  • An international dollar is a price-check unit. It is not a US dollar you can spend.
  • Some source values are estimates and can be revised.
  • Borders, coverage and methods can change over a long history.

Make the case for change

A chart can show a gap. It cannot prove what caused it. Read the evidence, the costs and the change we seek.
