per capita income = Real National Income/ Total population If the rate of population surpasses the rate of national income growth, then per capita national income will fall. Similarly if both national product and population grow at the same rate, per capita national product will remain constant. This is not economic development. Therefore it is not rise in real national income but rise in real per capita income which may be taken as an indicator of development. Hence there is the urgent needs to check the growth rate of population and to accelerate the rate of national growth, particularly in underdeveloped countries so that the real per capita income will rise. read less
