INCOME

You, and your family, have an income. You have an annual income, this is what you earn in a year. This income allows you to enjoy various goods and services. It means you have a certain standard of living. Your standard of living, of course, includes what you think of as necessary to your life, things like food, water, somewhere to live, health and education. But your income doesn't just cover the necessities of life. It also includes recreation whether that's sport or TV or a holiday. Your income will be less than some of your neighbours’, but it will be more than some of your other neighbours’. Your neighbours mean not just people living in your own country but also people living in other countries.

Just as you and your family have an income, so nations, different countries, also have an income - the national income, it's often called. A national income is not the money the government gets. The national income is the sum total of the incomes of all the people living in that country, in other words, everyone's income added together. In the same way one can think of world income as the total of all the incomes earned by all the people in the world.
