One disadvantage of using per capita income to measure standard of living is that the average doesn't really account fluctuations in standard of living between very rich and very poor. This difference can be huge, but a per capita can make it appear small.
GDP per capita
Lots of different factors, but per capita income can give a rough indication of people's standards of living. But basically every aspect of your life needs to be measured to produce a completely accurate measurement.
Growth of real GDP per Capita
Because it takes into account of non-material standard of living while GDP per capita only measures the material standard of living. HDI takes into account of Life expectancy, Literacy rate and GDP/capita.

One of the advantages of using per capita to measure a standard of living is that this gives you the average per person. In this way, one can still guess what the greater and lesser living expense is while still understanding the mean expense.
by comparing real GDP per capita
an increase in per capita earnings and a decrease in hours worked
It has the highest standard of living as well as the highest average GDP per capita.
The best measurement for comparing the standard of living between two countries is the GDP in conjunction with the economic growth. GDP stands for Gross Domestic product.
Economists measure a nation's standard of living: by calculating GDP per person by calculating per capita income (the best indicator) by calculating average personal income.
