Explanation:

Per capita income helps determine the average per-person income to evaluate the standard of living for a population. Per capita income as a metric has limitations that include its inability to account for inflation, income disparity, poverty, wealth, or savings.

Answer 2

(i) A rise in per capita income is due to rise in prices and not due to increase in physical output, it is not a reliable index of economic development.

(ii) National income rises but its distribution makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.

(iii) It excludes all non-marketed goods and services, even though they may be important for human happiness and better quality of life.

(iv) Rise in per capita income may be due to use of modern capital intensive technology in production which may be labour displacing in nature thus adversely affecting the poor masses.

(v) If rate of population growth, is higher than the rate of growth of national income, this will lead to fall in per capita availability of goods and services and economic welfare.

(vi) Contribution of commodity to economic welfare may be higher than its money value e.g., money value of salt, needle, thread, etc. included in national income is lower than their contribution to economic welfare.
