TwitterIn 2025, Luxembourg was the country with the highest gross domestic product per capita in the world. Of the 20 listed countries, 13 are in Europe and five are in Asia, alongside the U.S. and Australia. There are no African or Latin American countries among the top 20. Correlation with high living standards While GDP is a useful indicator for measuring the size or strength of an economy, GDP per capita is much more reflective of living standards. For example, when compared to life expectancy or indices such as the Human Development Index or the World Happiness Report, there is a strong overlap - 14 of the 20 countries on this list are also ranked among the 20 happiest countries in 2024, and all 20 have "very high" HDIs. Misleading metrics? GDP per capita figures, however, can be misleading, and to paint a fuller picture of a country's living standards then one must look at multiple metrics. GDP per capita figures can be skewed by inequalities in wealth distribution, and in countries such as those in the Middle East, a relatively large share of the population lives in poverty while a smaller number live affluent lifestyles.

TwitterIn 2025, Brazil and Mexico were expected to be the countries with the largest gross domestic product (GDP) in Latin America and the Caribbean. In that year, Brazil's GDP could reach an estimated value of 2.3 trillion U.S. dollars, whereas Mexico's amounted to almost 1.8 trillion U.S. dollars. GDP is the total value of all goods and services produced in a country in a given year. It measures the economic strength of a country and a positive change indicates economic growth.

TwitterOut of all 50 states, New York had the highest per-capita real gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024, at 92,341 U.S. dollars, followed closely by Massachusetts. Mississippi had the lowest per-capita real GDP, at 41,603 U.S. dollars. While not a state, the District of Columbia had a per capita GDP of more than 210,780 U.S. dollars. What is real GDP? A country’s real GDP is a measure that shows the value of the goods and services produced by an economy and is adjusted for inflation. The real GDP of a country helps economists to see the health of a country’s economy and its standard of living. Downturns in GDP growth can indicate financial difficulties, such as the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009, when the U.S. GDP decreased by 2.5 percent. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on U.S. GDP, shrinking the economy 2.8 percent. The U.S. economy rebounded in 2021, however, growing by nearly six percent. Why real GDP per capita matters Real GDP per capita takes the GDP of a country, state, or metropolitan area and divides it by the number of people in that area. Some argue that per-capita GDP is more important than the GDP of a country, as it is a good indicator of whether or not the country’s population is getting wealthier, thus increasing the standard of living in that area. The best measure of standard of living when comparing across countries is thought to be GDP per capita at purchasing power parity (PPP) which uses the prices of specific goods to compare the absolute purchasing power of a countries currency.

TwitterIn 2024, the U.S. GDP increased from the previous year to about 29.18 trillion U.S. dollars. Gross domestic product (GDP) refers to the market value of all goods and services produced within a country. In 2024, the United States has the largest economy in the world. What is GDP? Gross domestic product is one of the most important indicators used to analyze the health of an economy. GDP is defined by the BEA as the market value of goods and services produced by labor and property in the United States, regardless of nationality. It is the primary measure of U.S. production. The OECD defines GDP as an aggregate measure of production equal to the sum of the gross values added of all resident, institutional units engaged in production (plus any taxes, and minus any subsidies, on products not included in the value of their outputs). GDP and national debt Although the United States had the highest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the world in 2022, this does not tell us much about the quality of life in any given country. GDP per capita at purchasing power parity (PPP) is an economic measurement that is thought to be a better method for comparing living standards across countries because it accounts for domestic inflation and variations in the cost of living. While the United States might have the largest economy, the country that ranked highest in terms of GDP at PPP was Luxembourg, amounting to around 141,333 international dollars per capita. Singapore, Ireland, and Qatar also ranked highly on the GDP PPP list, and the United States ranked 9th in 2022.

TwitterThe gross domestic product of the United Kingdom in 2024 was around 2.78 trillion British pounds, an increase when compared to the previous year, when UK GDP amounted to about 2.75 trillion pounds. The significant drop in GDP visible in 2020 was due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the smaller declines in 2008 and 2009 because of the global financial crisis of the late 2000s. Low growth problem in the UK Despite growing by 0.9 percent in 2024, and 0.4 percent in 2023 the UK economy is not that much larger than it was before the COVID-19 pandemic. Since recovering from a huge fall in GDP in the second quarter of 2020, the UK economy has alternated between periods of contraction and low growth, with the UK even in a recession at the end of 2023. While economic growth picked up somewhat in 2024, GDP per capita is lower than it was in 2022, following two years of negative growth. UK's global share of GDP falling As of 2024, the UK had the sixth-largest economy in the world, behind the United States, China, Japan, Germany, and India. Among European nations, this meant that the UK currently has the second-largest economy in Europe, although the economy of France, Europe's third-largest economy, is of a similar size. The UK's global economic ranking will likely fall in the coming years, however, with the UK's share of global GDP expected to fall from 2.16 percent in 2025 to 2.02 percent by 2029.

In the period July 2021 to June 2022, there were approximately 4,332,000 total filled jobs in the DCMS Sectors (excluding Tourism) - representing 12.9% of all UK filled jobs, up from 12.7% in July 2020 to June 2021 and 12.0% in 2019 (pre-pandemic). This reflects that, for DCMS Sectors (excluding Tourism), the number of filled jobs have grown faster than the UK overall since July 2020 to June 2021 (3.2% DCMS vs 1.7% UK) and also compared to pre-pandemic (7.9% DCMS vs 0.1% UK).
In percentage terms, within the included DCMS sectors, the Digital sector has seen the largest employment growth since 2019 (pre-pandemic). Over the same period, of the included DCMS sectors, only the Gambling sector and Sport sector have seen declines in employment. Please note, there is substantial overlap between the DCMS sectors.
Although there is wide variation between sectors in terms of demographic breakdowns, overall the proportion of filled jobs held by women was lower in the DCMS Sectors (excluding Tourism) (44.1%) than the UK overall (47.9%). DCMS Sectors (excluding Tourism) have a slightly smaller share of jobs filled by people from ethnic minority groups (excluding white minorities) or by people with disabilities compared to the UK workforce overall.

Global Sharing Economy market size was USD 145.22 Billion in 2022. Sharing Economy Industry's Compound Annual Growth Rate will be 32.6% from 2023 to 2030. What is driving the Sharing Economy Market?
The proliferation of advanced digital platforms and devices
In recent years, the sharing economy has changed the way individuals share and conduct transactions in digital areas. The recent technological advancements have enabled transactions to take place on demand, to be precisely measurable in time and thus more scalable, and to be dynamically matched through an online platform. Advanced digital platforms and devices, such as smartphones and high-speed internet, have increased connectivity. This connectivity enables sharing economy platforms to connect providers and consumers effortlessly. People can easily access sharing economy services through mobile apps or websites, facilitating resource and service sharing. Digital platforms provide users with easy access to information about available resources and services. Through sharing economy platforms, individuals can quickly find and compare options, making it convenient to rent or share assets. The availability of detailed listings, photos, reviews, and ratings helps users make informed decisions and build trust in the sharing economy ecosystem. The companies in the sharing economy are growing as a result of profound shifts in consumer behavior. One of the major players in sharing economy is Uber which has in just a few years completely transformed industries and became the largest player in the sharing economy. Uber manages around 157 000 rides globally on an average day. According to Uber, 131 million people used Uber in 2022, an 11% increase by 2021. Moreover, the increasing adoption of smartphones is supporting the growth of the sharing economy. Smartphones provide individuals with constant access to sharing economy platforms, enabling on-the-go booking, real-time communication with service providers, and instant updates. The convenience and mobility offered by smartphones have significantly expanded the reach and usage of sharing economy services. According to the source GSMA Intelligence, smartphones accounted for 68% of total mobile connections in 2020,8 compared to 64% in 2019 and 47% in 2016 across the world. Thus, the increasing usage of smartphones globally led to adopt the digital platforms, which in turn fuels the growth of the sharing economy. Furthermore, the development of advanced digital platforms prioritizes user experience and offers intuitive interfaces by allowing individuals to easily navigate and interact with the platforms. Companies are increasingly expanding their business in the shared mobility industry and developing innovative platforms for users. For instance, Force Motors launched a next-generation shared mobility platform called Urbania. The simplicity and convenience of these platforms make it easy for users to engage in sharing activities, accelerating the growth of the sharing economy market. These technological advancements for the development of cost-effective products have been contributing to driving the growth and adoption of sharing economy services.

Introduction of Sharing Economy
The sharing economy is an economic model defined as a peer-to-peer (P2P) based activity of providing, acquiring, or sharing access to goods and services that is often facilitated by a community-based online platform. Sharing economy (SE) is a relatively new field of economics, gaining more traction from various industries. It has several applications in materials, transportation, hospitality, and sharing of information and knowledge. SE is related to various economic and environmental aspects such as sustainability, environment-friendly practices, circularity, less production, and more responsible use of resources. Sharing economy helps connect goods and services seekers with their providers using technology. It helps businesses reduce costs and increase efficiency along with environment-friendly choices for consumers. Further, some prominent factors that led to the boost of economy sharing are...

DCMS Sectors (excluding Tourism) have a similar share of jobs filled by people from ethnic minority groups (excluding white minorities) or by people with disabilities compared to the UK workforce overall.
In parallel to this set of employment estimates, we have published some experimental statistics on factors associated with joining or leaving the Digital sector workforce. This analysis uses data from the ONS longitudinal survey, from 2012 to 2019, to assess changes in employment status over a 12 month period relative to a baseline population. It shows that:
The factors examined did not explain the majority of movements into and out of the digital sector.

Of the 20 listed countries, 13 are in Europe and five are in Asia, alongside the U.S. and Australia. There are no African or Latin American countries among the top 20. Correlation with high living standards While GDP is a useful indicator for measuring the size or strength of an economy, GDP per capita is much more reflective of living standards.

Misleading metrics? GDP per capita figures, however, can be misleading, and to paint a fuller picture of a country's living standards then one must look at multiple metrics. GDP per capita figures can be skewed by inequalities in wealth distribution, and in countries such as those in the Middle East, a relatively large share of the population lives in poverty while a smaller number live affluent lifestyles.
