Common mistake
Misunderstanding GNI per Head
Students often confuse GNI per head with total GNI, thinking it represents the total economic output of a country rather than the average income per person.
Emphasize that GNI per head is calculated by dividing the total GNI by the population, which gives an average income per person, helping to assess individual economic well-being.
