25 Economic growth
Economic growth brings about a higher standard of living - the quality of life based on the possession of necessities and luxuries that make life easier. A major feature of a free enterprise economy is its ability to increase real per capita output enough over time to allow people to raise their standard of living.
In the end it also allows people to have more free time because they will not need to work as many days as before to earn the same income. With more free time, they can enjoy more hobbies and recreational, family, and cultural activities.
Economic growth allows government at all levels to carry out its tasks more easily.
For example, at present, the burden of national defence is heavy. This means there is less money available for social welfare and other domestic items. Economic growth helps solve domestic problems. Like most other countries of the world, our country is faced with a certain number of social problems. Poverty, lack of education, inadequate medical care, and economic insecurity all are problems with which the economy must deal. Most of these stem from economic need. A greater output of goods and services means more jobs and more income for more people. This is the root of many problems.
Economic growth depends on the ability of the economy to produce output. A number of factors are involved. Most important, however, is the quantity and the quality of the three factors of production - land, labour and capital. Their availability, and the way in which they are organised, will determine how the economy grows.
