Factors of Economic Development

To answer the question, “What is economic development?”Dr. Grinols professor of economics at Baylor University and author of Gambling in America: cost and benefits, 2004 said, “When individuals undertake productive activity, they engage in the creation of goods and service that provide greater welfare or satisfaction than the inputs used.” (Grinols 2004). Economic development is the creation of greater value by society from its available resources which means greater income and wealth, which lead to greater utility for members of society (Grinols 2004). Dr. Grinols

Economic Development: Growth is associated with structural, social change and change in the important institutions of the economy.

Economic development can be defined generally as involving an improvement in economic welfare, measured using a variety of indices, such as the Human Development Index (HDI). A developing country is described as a nation with a lower standard of living, underdeveloped industrial base, and a low HDI relative to other countries. There are several factors which may have the effect of limiting economic development in such countries. Factors such as these include: primary product dependency, the savings gap and political instability.

Economic growth, put simply, is “an increase in the amount of goods and services produced per head of the population over a period of time”; development is inextricably linked with this economic growth. By utilising theories of economic growth and development we can see how the Chinese and Sub-Saharan African economies have emerged, but, more notably, we can use these to look at patterns from past and present to show their experience and the implications of this growth for the future.

Development: It is increasing the standard of living by considering economics is the key function. Every theory of development has functions of economics. It plays a vital role in social science. It is widely considered as “committed” i.e., serves an interest especially class interest. Economists have equal important like scientists, because these people concern with important issues like economic growth, employment and development etc., Economic theories of development have own way of History, projections, philosophical bias, practice, language and relations. These properties of theories depend on particular

Institutions such as government and other organizations play an essential role in explaining why some nations are richer than others. In ensuring economic growth, government can provide political stability that reduces crime, poverty and income inequality. In addition, providing public services such as roads and other infrastructures that can help protect and control the

The governmental structure of a country defines the type of economic system that may be utilized to increase their efficiency and prosperity. These different economic systems all answer the three basic questions. There is centralized command and control in which the government or dictator regulates every aspect of the economy from production types and quantity, to the consumers whom buy the products and at what cost. Instead of centralized command and control it should be commander in control, since one person or entity has all of the power over the economic system. Still, this type of economic systems exists in some communist/dictated countries today, such as, North Korea and Cuba. Another form of economic system is the price system, in which

The biggest economic factor in question according to historians like Maurice Keen and Edmund Fryde is the poll tax. There were three poll taxes in total, one in 1377 which asked for 4d per person, the second which was imposed in 1379 which ‘was assessed in a complex way’, and the third and final poll tax which was imposed in December 1380 which asked for three times as much money

There are 2 economic systems which are commonly used world-wide. There are: the free market system in which the role for the government is limited and the planned system where the government takes viturally total control. In both of these systmes

Economic growth is a necessary but not sufficient condition of economic development. There is no single definition that encompasses all the aspects of economic development. The most comprehensive definition perhaps of economic development is the one given by Todaro: ‘Development is not purely an economic phenomenon but rather a multi – dimensional process involving reorganization and re orientation of the entire economic and social system. Development is a process of improving the quality of all human lives with three equally important aspects. These are: 1.

Higher incomes, lower unemployment, decreased government borrowing, increased investment, and improved standard of living, generally accompany economic growth. Developing countries strive to foster effective strategies that will allow them to achieve economic growth. South Korea has been known as the model for economic growth. They transformed themselves from an underdeveloped country to one of the world’s most thriving economies. Many countries have tried to imitate the South Korean model as a means of having rapid growth. This paper will show, that a good base for economic growth can be formed through an export oriented led strategy, an improvement in the labor force, and slight involvement by the government.

Gender inequality has been and is still a problem being faced worldwide. It has inhibited the social, economical, and political growth of women in all different nations, especially third-world countries.There are various implications that change the level of inequality such as education, culture, religion, democratization of countries, years of independence, and most importantly, economic development. (Dollar & Gatti, 1999). This paper is examining the role economic development as measured through levels GDP (low, medium, high) plays in the level of gender empowerment in a country. After reading various studies, I have concluded that when regarding “gender empowerment” it is specific to the empowerment of women It is hypothesized that increased economic development will display higher levels of gender empowerment. The following three literature reviews will demonstrate and support the hypothesis.
