To understand the statistics of human lives in Angola, we must look at income per person (gdp per capita, ppp) as a measure of average yearly economic output, adjusted for purchasing power in 2017 international dollars. These figures capture the raw material conditions that shape everyday existence, from the clothes people wear to the food on their tables. Every value recorded here tells a statistical fact about the lives actually lived across three centuries, translating abstract economic metrics into the tangible reality of survival and stability.
The historical arc moves steadily through time. In the 1800s estimate, the output stood at 600, creeping upward through 620, 640, 660, 680, 700, 720, 740, 760, and 780. By 1900 it was 800 intl-$, climbing through 940 in the 1910s, 1,080 in the 1920s, 1,220 in the 1930s, and 1,360 in the 1940s. Growth continued through 1,500 in the 1950s, 1,867 in the 1960s, 2,233 in the 1970s, and 2,600 in the 1980s, before dipping to 2,550 in the 1990s and 2,500 in the 2000s, then rising to 3,150 in the 2010s.
In the 2020s, income per person (gdp per capita, ppp) in Angola stands at 3,800 intl-$ — ranking #120 of 157 countries. For someone born today, this figure represents a midpoint in a trajectory that projections anticipate will grow through 4,370 in the 2030s, 5,026 in the 2040s, 5,779 in the 2050s, 6,646 in the 2060s, 7,643 in the 2070s, 8,790 in the 2080s, 10,108 in the 2090s, and 11,624 in the 2100s.
