what are the limitation of taking per capita income an indicator of development

•It does not indicate the disparities in the distribution of income. E.g. the wide gap between the incomes of extremely rich and very poor people. •It does not indicate long-term sustainability as non-renewable resources are liable to be exhausted. •The method of calculating per capita income also varies among countries. This, it is not highly reliable for comparisons.

according to me there are two main reasons why not to take per capita income as average 
  • it may not define the strength of the country i.e. each country has its own population (no country is same strengthened
  • there might be a gap in the income of people for example one is quite rich and other is poor but the per capita income would come out to be normal (that is not sure that every one is earning average)
