Yes, I agree with the statement.
- Economic development and economic growth go hand in hand. They are interrelated but they do not mean the same.
- Economic growth refers to an increase in a country’s real output of goods and services, whereas economic development refers to the progressive changes in the socio-economic structure of a country.
- Also, economic growth considers the quantitative aspect whereas economic development considers the qualitative aspect.
- Again, economic growth is possible without economic development but, economic development is not possible without economic growth.
- Hence, economic development is a wider term and economic growth is a part of it which makes them two different concepts.
