But you will be surprised to know that the per capita income of small countries like Angola, Vanautu and Sao Tome Principe is also higher than that of India. Angola’s per capita income is $3205, Vanuatu’s $3188, Sao Tome Principe’s $2696 and Ivory Coast’s $2646, which is much higher than India’s $2601.

Growing economic inequality in the country

The average income of every Indian is called per capita income. But India’s per capita income also reflects the growing inequality in the country. According to the report of Oxfam International, 10 percent of the country’s population is in possession of 77 percent of the nation’s wealth. It can be estimated from these figures that how big the gap of economic inequality has become in the country.
