</ul>GDP per capita is gross domestic product divided by midyear population. GDP is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources. Data are in current U.S. dollars.

GDP per capita (current US$) in Japan was reported at 33767 USD in 2023, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources. Japan - GDP per capita - actual values, historical data, forecasts and projections were sourced from the World Bank on July of 2025.

Japan GDP for 2023 was 4.204 trillion US dollars, a 1.22% decline from 2022.

</ul>GDP at purchaser's prices is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources. Data are in current U.S. dollars. Dollar figures for GDP are converted from domestic currencies using single year official exchange rates. For a few countries where the official exchange rate does not reflect the rate effectively applied to actual foreign exchange transactions, an alternative conversion factor is used.

The Gross Domestic Product per capita in Japan was last recorded at 45948.68 US dollars in 2023, when adjusted by purchasing power parity (PPP). The GDP per Capita, in Japan, when adjusted by Purchasing Power Parity is equivalent to 259 percent of the world's average. This dataset provides - Japan GDP per capita PPP - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.

In the fiscal year 2021, Tokyo Prefecture recorded the highest GDP at current prices in Japan, at around 113.7 trillion Japanese yen. The nominal GDP of Osaka Prefecture amounted to 41.3 trillion yen.

The gross domestic product (GDP) in current prices in Japan was about 4.03 trillion U.S. dollars in 2024. Between 1980 and 2024, the GDP rose by approximately 2.90 trillion U.S. dollars, though the increase followed an uneven trajectory rather than a consistent upward trend. The GDP will steadily rise by around 960 billion U.S. dollars over the period from 2024 to 2030, reflecting a clear upward trend.This indicator describes the gross domestic product at current prices. The values are based upon the GDP in national currency converted to U.S. dollars using market exchange rates (yearly average). The GDP represents the total value of final goods and services produced during a year.

In 2024, about 93.7 percent of men aged 45 to 54 years in Tokyo Prefecture in Japan were employed. The employment rate of men aged 65 years and older declined to 35.2 percent.

PurposeRanking of nations by medal tally is a popular feature of the Olympics, but such ranking is a poor measure of sporting prowess or engagement until the tallies are adjusted for major factors beyond the control of individual nations. Here we estimate and adjust for effects of total population, economy expressed as gross domestic product per capita, absolute latitude and Muslim population proportion on total medal counts in female, male, mixed and all events at the Pyeongchang winter and Tokyo summer Olympics and Paralympics.MethodsThe statistical model was multiple linear over-dispersed Poisson regression. Population and economy were log-transformed; their linear effects were expressed in percent per percent units and evaluated in magnitude as the factor effects of two between-nation standard deviations (SD). The linear effect of absolute latitude was expressed and evaluated as the factor effect of 30° (approximately 2 SD). The linear effect of Muslim proportion was expressed as the factor effect of 100% vs. 0% Muslim. Nations were ranked on the basis of actual vs. predicted all-events medal counts.ResultsAt the Pyeongchang Olympics, effects of population and economy were 0.7–0.8 %/% and 1.1–1.7 %/% (welldefined extremely large increases for 2 SD), factor effects of 30° of latitude were 11–17 (welldefined extremely large increases), and factor effects of 100% Muslim population were 0.08–0.69 (extremely large to moderate reductions, albeit indecisive). Effects at the Tokyo Olympics were similar in magnitude, including those of latitude, which were surprisingly still positive although diminished (large to very large increases). Effects at the Pyeongchang and Tokyo Paralympics were generally similar to those at the Olympics, but the effects of economy were diminished (large to very large increases). After adjustment of medal tallies for these effects, nations that reached the top-10 medalists in both winter games were Austria, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Slovakia and Ukraine, but only Azerbaijan reached the top-10 in both summer games.ConclusionAdjusting medal counts for demographic and geographic factors provides a comparison of nations' sporting prowess or engagement that is more in keeping with the Olympic ideal of fair play and more useful for nations' Olympic-funding decisions.

In 2021, the gross domestic product (GDP) of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area reached around 1.96 trillion U.S. dollars. Although this was not much less than the GDP of the Tokyo Bay and more than the New York Metropolitan Area, per capita GDP in China's Greater Bay Area was considerably lower.

In 2022, household debt in Japan accounted for 68.4 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP). The share increased from 68 percent in the previous year.

 Household debt 

Total household financial liabilities rose to around 382.9 trillion Japanese yen in the second quarter of 2023, most of which comprised housing loans. A distribution of financial liabilities held by multi-person households revealed that loans taken out for the purchase of homes and land were the primary reason for an increase in the average amount of liabilities per household in recent years. The average amount of financial liabilities per multi-person household decreased proportionally with increasing age: household debt reached the highest levels among households with a household head aged below 40 years, while households headed by over 70-year-olds reported the lowest amount of outstanding debt.

 Regional disparities 

A closer look at the geographical distribution of household debt revealed large disparities across different regions in the country: at 6.65 million yen, financial liabilities per multi-person household were highest in the Kanto region, which is home to Japan’s capital Tokyo where a large proportion of the Japanese workforce is concentrated. At the same time, the average household debt in Okinawa, the southernmost region of Japan, was 4.32 million yen.

Adults with 100 thousand to one million U.S. dollars in wealth made up around 53 percent of the Japanese population in 2020, while the second largest share of people were worth between 10,000 and 100,000 dollars. Together, these groups accounted for approximately 86 percent of the population.

Wealth versus income

Wealth, as opposed to income, measures the ownership of assets in a society. Together with GDP, GDP per capita, and household disposable income, it helps to understand the economic well-being of households. Furthermore, the distribution of wealth gives an indication about the degree of equality in a society. Illustrated by its wealth distribution, Japan can be considered relatively equal compared to other countries.

Egalitarian corporate culture

In recent years, wealth inequality has become the subject of increasing focus among policymakers, academics and the general public. While several factors have contributed to the high equality in the country, it is safe to say that the egalitarian ethic in Japanese corporate culture is one of these reasons. This is reflected, for example, in the income structure; Japanese CEOs earn remarkably less than their counterparts in the United Kingdom or the United States. In a ranking of the average income of business leaders worldwide by country, Japan did not even make it into the list of the top ten countries.

This statistic provides a projection of the gross domestic product (GDP) of major megacities worldwide in 2030. As of this time, it is projected that the GDP of Tokyo, Japan, will reach 40 billion U.S. dollars.

In 2022, the total population of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area reached around 86.6 million. In terms of population, China's Greater Bay Area was larger than other major Bay Areas in the world. However, per capita GDP was only about half of that in the Tokyo Bay Area and only one seventh of that in the San Francisco Bay Area.
