How much output one employed person creates in a year — in constant PPP dollars.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country — the year is shown in the row. The table spans 2021 to 2025.
Top-20 · PPP $ per person employed
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

Gross domestic product per person employed in constant dollars at purchasing power parity. It differs from GDP per capita in the denominator: there the whole population, here only those who work — and the difference between the two indicators speaks of demography and employment. A country can have a low GDP per capita alongside decent productivity simply because only a small part of the population works: many children, many women out of employment, early retirement.
Important: There are no aggregates for country groups: the correct denominator is the number of people employed, and we have no separate series for the employed. The labor force will not do — it includes the unemployed, and the discrepancy is largest precisely in countries with high unemployment.
The soundest measure of living standards: income per person adjusted for prices.
Labor 1991–2025 Employment-to-population ratioThe share of the population aged 15 and over that actually works.
Labor 1990–2025 Labor forceThe number of people employed or actively looking for work — the economically active population.
Labor 1991–2025 Vulnerable employmentThe share of own-account and contributing family workers — with no contract, insurance or guarantees.
