GDP per person employed (constant 2021 PPP $), measured in constant 2021 PPP $, measures the total economic output of The Bahamas. It represents the broadest indicator of economic activity, capturing production, income, and expenditure across all sectors — from manufacturing and services to agriculture and government.

In The Bahamas, the statistical agency compiles GDP data through comprehensive surveys of businesses, government records, and household expenditure patterns. While GDP per capita provides insight into average living standards, it does not capture income distribution, environmental costs, or unpaid work like caregiving.
