Question: how to calculate percentage change in gdp per capita?
Answer: How do you determine the GDP per capita growth rate? An easy way to do it is to get GDP per capita in say 20018 and divide by GDP per capita in 2018 (Once 2018 is completed) this will give you a ratio. If it is 1.5 then the 2018 GDP per capita is 50 % more than that of 2008.
