Q & A

What is the difference between economic growth and economic development?

Economic growth focuses on the increase in GDP or national income, while economic development considers whether the population's welfare is improved, including factors such as living standards and equality.

Why is economic growth not always an indicator of successful economic development?

Economic growth may show high percentages in GDP, but it doesn't guarantee that all citizens benefit from this growth. Economic development looks at whether welfare and quality of life improve across all groups in society.

What factors indicate successful economic development?

Successful economic development is indicated by factors such as increased life expectancy, better education, higher literacy rates, and increased per capita income that benefit the entire population, not just a few groups.

Can a country experience economic growth without economic development?

Yes, a country can have economic growth (rising GDP) without achieving economic development if the benefits of growth are not evenly distributed or if citizens' welfare doesn't improve.

What is meant by qualitative and quantitative success in economic terms?

Quantitative success in economics refers to measurable growth like an increase in GDP, while qualitative success considers improvements in living standards, income equality, and overall welfare of society.

Does economic growth always lead to improved welfare for all citizens?

No, economic growth does not always lead to improved welfare for all. Growth may be concentrated in certain sectors or benefit only a few, while others remain unaffected.

Why is income distribution important in economic development?

Income distribution is important in economic development because it ensures that the benefits of economic progress reach all segments of society, promoting social equity and reducing poverty.

Economic development aims to improve infrastructure, such as education, healthcare, and transportation, ensuring equitable access across regions, which supports overall societal welfare.

No, economic development usually requires economic growth, but growth alone isn't sufficient. Development involves both growth and improvements in societal welfare.

What role does education play in economic development?
