Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) is also not taken into account with income per capita; this means that the cost of living in each country is not accounted for so development may appear better in some countries than it actually is.

So free trade is really a fair trade to poor countries?Actually, the main argument does not come from whether rich countries should open market to support the development of poor countries, instead, the focus is whether the liberalization is the burden of poor countries.
