What is GDP per person employed (constant 2021 PPP $)?

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