Question

Why is total income not used for comparison? *
It is difficult to calculate
People may reveal incorrect income
Countries have different populations
All of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

Total income is not a useful measure for comparison between the two countries because it hides the disparities. It does not show how the income is distributed among the different sections of the society. It only shows the total income of the country.

Answer 2

Answer:

The total income of countries is not used to make an economic comparison between them because the population of each country varies and it does not give an idea what an average citizen is earning as the occupation is also different.
