The table illustrates the GDP(gross domestic production), annual economic growth, and GDP per capita of the five largest economies in the world. Overall, countries with large population and low GDP per capita, such as China and India, see a significant economical growth annualy, while the other countries experience a relatively small increase.
To begin with, GDP per capita of China and India is by far lower than that of the other countries. Although China is the second largest economiy, GDP per person in China is $10,260 and one-sixth the size of GDP per capita in the US. Moreover, each average person in India produces only $2,100, while those in Japan and Germany can produce more than $40,000.
By contrast, China and India grow sharply in terms of economy. For instance, the annual growth rates of China and India are 6.1 percent and 4.2 percent respectively, which are at least six times larger than those of Japan and Germany that are between 0.6 and 0.7 percent. On the other hand, the annula growth percentage of the US is 2.2 percent and a little higher than that of Japan and Germany.
