What the numbers say
In 2025, Azerbaijan's GDP per person employed (constant 2021 PPP $) rose 466.89 on 2024 (from 46,860 to 47,327).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +1,231 and a typical year strayed about 2,407 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 8,364 in 2007 and the biggest yearly fall was 5,957 in 1992. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 653.7 a year. A straight line explains 70% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
GDP per person employed is gross domestic product (GDP) divided by total employment in the economy. Purchasing power parity (PPP) GDP is GDP converted to 2021 constant international dollars using PPP rates. An international dollar has the same purchasing power over GDP that a U.S. dollar has in the United States.
Limitations: For comparability of individual sectors labor productivity is estimated according to national accounts conventions. However, there are still significant limitations on the availability of reliable data. Information on consistent series of output in both national currencies and purchasing power parity dollars is not easily available, especially in developing countries, because the definition, coverage, and methodology are not always consistent across countries. For example, countries employ different methodologies for estimating the missing values for the nonmarket service sectors and use different definitions of the informal sector.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
