Income per Person (GDP per capita, PPP) in Azerbaijan: 1800 to Today (and Tomorrow)

At MYRIAD, we examine the statistics of human lives to understand how daily existence shifts across time. When we look at income per person (gdp per capita, ppp) in Azerbaijan, measured in average yearly economic output per person and adjusted for purchasing power in 2017 international dollars, we are charting the material conditions of real people. Every single data point represents the food, shelter, and security available to individuals navigating their world from the 1800s onward.

The historical arc of this economy reveals a steady, documented climb across three centuries. In the 1800s estimate, the average stood at 2,000 intl-$. By 1900 it was 4,500 intl-$. Through decades of transformation, the numbers continued to rise, reaching 10,333 in the 1960s, 21,500 in the 1990s, and 38,000 intl-$ in the 2020s, where it currently ranks #29 of 157 countries according to World Bank and Maddison Project data compiled by MYRIAD. Projections extend this trajectory into the future, anticipating 43,700 intl-$ in the 2030s projection and scaling up toward 116,243 intl-$ in the 2100s projection.

If you were born in Azerbaijan across these different eras, your economic reality was defined by these exact benchmarks, shifting from the modest figures of the 1810s estimate through the mid-century milestones and onward toward the 2050s projection of 57,793 intl-$. Understanding these figures grounds our view of human progress not as an abstract concept, but as a quantifiable change in purchasing power experienced generation by generation.
