Standard of living in India is modest and is improving. As of 2005, 85.7% of the population lives on less than $2.50 (PPP) a day, down from 92.5% in 1981. This compares with 80.5% in Sub-Saharan Africa. 75.6% of the population lives on less than $2 a day (PPP), which is around 20 rupees or $0.5 a day in nominal terms. It was down from 86.6% and compares with 73.0% in Sub-Saharan Africa.

  • Standard of living in India is modest and is improving. As of 2005, 85.7% of the population lives on less than $2.50 (PPP) a day, down from 92.5% in 1981. This compares with 80.5% in Sub-Saharan Africa. 75.6% of the population lives on less than $2 a day (PPP), which is around 20 rupees or $0.5 a day in nominal terms. It was down from 86.6% and compares with 73.0% in Sub-Saharan Africa. A 24.3% of the population earned less than $1 (PPP, around $0.25 in nominal terms) a day in 2005, down from 42.1% in 1981. 41.6% of its population is living below the new international poverty line of $1.25 (PPP) per day, down from 59.8% in 1981. The single most common indicator used to quantify standard of living is the per capita purchasing power parity (PPP) adjusted gross domestic product (GDP). In 2007, the per capita PPP-adjusted GDP for India was US$2,659. These figures can be compared to $5,292 for neighbouring China. With one of the fastest growing economies in the world, clocked at an average growth rate of 8% between 2004-2005, India is fast on way to become a large and globally important consumer economy. The Indian middle class, estimated to be 300 million people by Indian standard (but much lower by European or North American standard), is fast becoming used to Western culture. If current trends continue, Indian per capita purchasing power parity will grow to be approximately one third that of the developed world by the middle of the 21st century. In 2006, 22 percent of Indians lived under the poverty line. India aims to eradicate poverty by 2020. The standard of living in India shows large disparity. For example, rural areas of India exist with very basic (or even non-existent) medical facilities, while cities boast of world class medical establishments. Similarly, The very latest machinery may be used in some construction projects, but many construction workers work without mechanisation in most projects.
  • 印度的生活水准一直在逐渐的提升之中。最常见的衡量生活水准是按购买力平价 (PPP)调整的人均国内生产总值 (GDP)。2005年2，印度按购买力平价调整的人均国内生产总值为3,460美元。这个数字可以与相邻的中国（6,660美元）相比较。 作为在世界上经济增长最快速的国家之一，2004年-2005年的平均增长率为8%，印度正在快速成为巨大的、全球重要的消费者经济。印度的中产阶级，人数在2到3亿之间，正在快速地习惯于西方生活方式。如果这个趋势持续下去，到21世纪中叶，印度人均购买力平价将增加到发达国家的将近三分之一。2006年，22%的印度人生活在贫困线以下，已经比1995年的50%下降很多。印度计划在2020年消除贫困。 印度的生活水准差异悬殊，例如乡村地区只有基本的医疗设施，而城市中拥有世界水准的医疗设施。机械使用于建筑工程还是晚近的事，许多工程仍然由数目庞大的劳工在没有机械设备的情况下建造。
