So in what ways, apart from their own consumption(food, housing, energy, etc), do they actually increase GDP per person? Not sure I've ever seen a full and proper explanation of how it works.
GDP or similar as a measure is just nonsense. In theory you could double the population and total GDP would go up. GDP per person is another matter.
