We rarely see discussions about per capita GDP, but this is actually a set of extremely critical core indicators.
In the recognition of United Nations and World Bank , per capita GDP is an important indicator to measure whether a region is developed. Relevant data show that the higher the per capita GDP, the higher the labor productivity of the entire society, and then the quality of life of the people will naturally be higher.
As of last year, my country's per capita GDP reached 80,976 yuan, an increase of 8.0% over the previous year. Based on the annual average exchange rate, it has exceeded US$12,000.
Another view suggests that although per capita GDP cannot be equated with the people's per capita income and living standards, it constitutes the main material basis for a region's per capita income and living standards.
So what is the pattern of the top ten provinces and cities in my country's per capita GDP?
According to the total amount of GDP in the first half of 2022, as well as the latest permanent population data at the end of last year, China's top ten provinces and cities with per capita GDP have been officially released.
It should be pointed out that we have also joined the participation of four municipalities directly under the central government. Of course it is also obvious. Compared with provinces, municipalities directly under the central government have obvious advantages in all types of per capita indicators.
After calculation, the rankings of the top ten provinces and cities in the latest semi-annual GDP are Beijing (88,406 yuan), Shanghai (77,738 yuan), Jiangsu (66,912 yuan), Fujian (58,765 yuan), Tianjin (55,506 yuan), Zhejiang (55,385 yuan), Guangdong (46,924 yuan), Inner Mongolia (43,604 yuan), Chongqing (42,067 yuan), and Hubei (42,029 yuan).
No surprise, the per capita GDP of the four municipalities directly under the central government has all ranked among the top ten provinces and cities in China. However, judging from the specific data, there are also obvious differences within the four municipalities directly under the central government. Among them, Beijing's per capita GDP ranked first with 88,400 yuan, while Chongqing only had just over 40,000 yuan.
At present, Beijing and Shanghai have quite obvious advantages in per capita GDP, and Jiangsu has firmly ranked in the top three.
Fujian's per capita GDP ranks among the top four, leading Zhejiang.
In recent years, Fujian's GDP growth rate has been at the leading level in my country's coastal areas. In addition, the adjustment of the fourth economic census has also increased the total economic output of Fujian Province.
If municipalities are excluded, Fujian's per capita GDP is second only to Jiangsu in comparison with provinces. It is reported that the permanent population of Fujian Province is 41.87 million, more than 20 million less than Zhejiang.
Of course, in the long run, the permanent population is a positive indicator, and the development of the region will inevitably require stable support for the permanent population.
Hubei leads Shandong and gets the last ticket to China's top ten provinces and cities with per capita GDP.
Who can imagine that Shandong, as a traditional strong province in my country's coastal areas, has a per capita GDP even lower than Hubei in the inland areas! We believe that Shandong's per capita GDP is indeed not very good. Hubei does have unique advantages in terms of development level and strength of the people.
It is worth mentioning that the per capita GDP gap between Hubei and Chongqing is only a few dozen yuan. In addition, the gap between Hubei and Inner Mongolia and Guangdong is not big, and there is a possibility of adjustment in future rankings.
If the total GDP represents the economic scale of a region, then per capita GDP reflects the value of the internal industry. So what do you think about this list?
