Growth vs. Development
• Economic growth may be one aspect of economic development but it is not the same
• Economic growth:– A measure of the value of output of goods
and services within a time period
• Economic Development:– A measure of the welfare of humans in a
society

Economic Growth• Using measures of
economic growth can give distorted pictures of the level of income in a country – the income distribution is not taken into account
• A small proportion of the population can own a large amount of the wealth in a country
But this could be just around the corner!
This might be a common picture……

Economic Growth• Using measures of economic performance in
terms of the value of income, expenditure, and output
• GDP – Gross Domestic Product – The value of goods and services produced within a
country during a time period
• GNI – Gross National Income– The value of goods and services produced within a
country plus net income from abroad
• GDP/GNI per head/per capita – GNI divided by the total population

National Income – Problems with using GDP/GNI
• Reliability of data?– How accurate is the data that is collected?
• Distribution of income?– How is the income distributed? – Does a small proportion of the population earn a high
percentage of the income or is income more evenly spread?

National Income – Problems with using GDP/GNI
• Quality of life?– Can changes in economic growth
measure changes in the quality of life?
– Does additional earnings power bring with it additional stress, increases in working hours, increased health and family problems?
