Economic growth in a city, state, or country is characterized by steady growth in the productive capacity of the economy or a growth of national income (Fernandez- Villaverde, 2001). The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate is most commonly used to measure economic growth because it is a reflection of the total change in a country’s national output (Filardo, 1999). This growth rate is used to predict the direction of an economy. A positive growth rate indicates a positive economy with more jobs, consumption and income while a negative growth indicates an economic decline (Filardo, 1999). Economic growth constitutes superior productivity, prosperity, and increased capital per capita resulting in a higher quality of living. Conversely, economic decline can lead to a higher percentage of unemployment and scarcity of resources (Morrison, 1972). The GDP growth rate mirrors the economic growth rate in that the GDP growth rate is comprised of two components: population growth and labor productivity (Fernandez- Villaverde, 2001). For this reason, the GDP growth rate should be used in order to obtain the most accurate measure of economic growth.
Land Use and Social Sciences
Social science is a field of study primarily concerned with society and human behaviors. Due to the poor connections between spatially explicit (restricted land space) land use studies and the social sciences, it is difficult for land use modelers to utilize the vast stock of social science theory and methodology (Verburg, Schot, Dijst, & Veldkamp, 2004). This difficulty is further complicated by the ongoing obstacles within the social sciences in trying to interconnect the micro and macro levels of social organization (Coleman, 1990).

This paper will discuss the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), meaning the total market value of the country’s output (Case, 2017). I will explain the Expenditure approach and the four components used to calculate the GDP. I will also go over what is not included in the calculation and how inflation and unemployment relate to the growth of the GDP. In addition we will look at how the GDP reflects the economic welfare of our society and finally changes I would make and how they reflect a Christian world view.
When real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increases or fluctuates in a given period, it shows either the economic growth rate is expanding or contracting as the real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is being used to calculate the economic growth
However, due to the fact that GDP is measured in either current or nominal prices, we cannot differentiate two length of time without adjusting for inflation. In order to calculate the real Gross Domestic Product, the nominal GDP level have to be changed accordingly to the changes in price of goods and services so that we will be able to determine on whether the total output of goods and services produced has increased because a higher number of output is produced or is it because of the increase in price only. A GDP deflator is used to adjust the GDP from nominal to constant prices. GDP have an important and significant role in the economy. One of the reason why GDP is important is GDP provides us information about the size and performance of an economy in the country. The growth rate of real GDP is frequently used to indicate the well-being of an economy. If the value of the real GDP is increasing at a rapid rate, companies and organization will most likely hire more employees for their production process and this will increase the employment rate in a country. When the value of GDP decreases, unemployment rate usually increases. However, all of these are subject to the situation in a country. For example, the value of GDP increases in a period of time but it does not increase at a rapid enough rate
Traditionally economic growth has been regarded as the most important objective for economic management. Economic growth can be defined as an increase in a country
Levy, J. M. (2013). Contemporary Urban Planning. New Jersey: Pearson-Prentice Hall. Retrieved from Course Smart.
Growth can be defined as an increase in the value of goods and services produced in the country over a period of time. Growth is measured in the Real GDP (Gross Domestic Product), the health of an economy. Real GDP represents the total dollar value of goods and services produced over a specific time period. The Benefits of economic growth is, an increase in production so a wider range of goods and services available for the consumers. An increase in investment, increase in sales, revenues and profits. More jobs and more employment, increase production and investment. Higher income, increased production and more jobs increase household incomes and productivity for the producers. Increased savings, higher household incomes means an increase in savings. Higher tax revenue
An Analysis of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The current state of the economy in the United States has been slow in recent months. While the economy is not currently in recession, we may eventually fall victim to the first recession we’ve had in nearly ten years. The economy in general is showing growth, just not much.
Every year there is a ‘league table‘ published showing the level of economic growth achieved by each country. The comparison is made using each countries Gross Domestic Product, or GDP. An important factor to look at is the difference between actual and potential economic growth. Actual economic growth increases in real GDP. This increase can occur as result of using previously unemployed resources, or reallocating resources into more productive areas or improving existing resources. Whereas potential economic growth is the productive capacity of the economy. For example, it can be shown by the predicted ability of the country to produce goods and services. This changes when there is an increase in the quantity or quality of the resources. All countries have different ways of achieving this with the resources they have available to them. For this reason it party answers the question of why some countries are richer than others. It is widely thought that the productive capacity of an economy will increase each year largely due to improvements in education and technology. This will obviously differ from country to country. For example, in the UK the quality of fertilizer could be improved, hence forth increase the years fruit and vegetable output.
Gross National Product is essential as it highlights the society-wellbeing and development, it is also structured around change of production and employment in terms of the fact where there is a shift from undeveloped to developed, as well as to indicate improvement in certain social indicators like school and health conditions which is also seen as a prime factor in measuring societies development. Economic growth refers to the increasing ability of a nation to produce goods and services, and economic development, which also takes into consideration that the nation will be better off if it takes into consideration accounting changes in the economic and social structure that will decrease or terminate poverty.
Economic growth is the most basic indicator of an economy's health which is the rate at which national income is growing. Economic growth is a rise in what an economy can produce if it is using all its scarce resources. A combination of two goods that can be produced in a country when the available resources are fully and efficiently utilized is called production possibility frontier (PPF). An increase in an economy’s productive potential can be shown by an outward shift in the economy’s PPF. The easiest way to show economic growth is to combine all goods into consumer and capital goods. A shift to the right of a PPF means that an economy has raised its volume to produce.
Human population growth is becoming a huge issue in our world today. The population is increasing rapidly. The reason that it is becoming a concern is because it has affected the economic, environmental, and social aspects of our world. In the film Frontline: Heat, we can see how there might not be a future for our planet unless we are able to reduce the emissions and make our world a safe place. Not only for the present but also for future generations so that they are able to live long and healthy lives.

To analyse the implications of planning policies and strategies as well as governance structures on the sustainability of land use, particularly in peri-urban areas by exploring selected case study regions in detail and in collaboration with local stakeholders. This allows identifying strategies for sustainable peri/urban development.
In order for any country to survive in comparison to another developed country they must be able to grow and sustain a healthy and flourishing economy. This paper is designed to give a detailed insight of economic growth and the sectors that influence economic growth. Economic growth in a country is essential to the reduction of poverty, without such reduction; poverty would continue to increase therefore economic growth is inevitable. Through economic growth, it is also an aid in the reduction of the unemployment rate and it also helps to reduce the budget deficit of the government. Economic growth can also encourage better living standards for all it is citizens because with economic growth there are improvements in the public sectors, educational and healthcare facilities. Through economic growth social spending can also be increased without an increase of taxes.
Economic growth is one of the most important fields in economics. In current generation economic is developing well. Economic growth is really important to country and for the world as well. Economic are one of the identity for country because it shows a country development and attraction for other countries (F, Peter. 2014). For example well economic develop such as Singapore, Dubai, New York, and Japan. These countries are well develop and maintaining their economic growths. Economic growths are really important because higher average incomes enables consumers to enjoy more goods and services. Then, lower unemployment with higher output and positive economic growth firms tend to utilize more workers creating more employment. Enhanced public
Pakistan has all the major ingredients necessary to become a developed nation; it has a geo-strategic location, a generous availability of natural resources and a large population in the working age. Despite having the potential to turn itself into a developed country, Pakistan has not been able to fulfill its potential.
