The most effective means of eradicating poverty and raising standards of living in developing nations is economic growth. There is abundant evidence, from both cross-country research and country case studies that rapid and sustained growth is essential to achieving the Millennium Development Goals more quickly, and not just the first objective is to cut in half the number of people in the world who make less than $1 a day. Growth can create beneficial cycles of wealth and opportunity. Robust growth and Employment opportunities increase parents' incentives to spend money on their kids. Education by enrolling them in classes. This could result in the formation of a powerful and increasing number of business owners should put pressure on better governance. Therefore, rapid economic growth promotes human development, which, the next, a successful approach for reducing poverty must have essential components that encourage rapid and long-term economic growth. Combining policies that encourage growth with those that enable the poor to fully participate in the possibilities created and so contribute to that growth presents a dilemma for policymakers. This includes measures to improve the functioning of the labour market, eradicate gender inequality, and broaden financial inclusion. As a whole, nations are focusing more and more on the "inclusive growth" objective. The two main goals of India's most recent development plan are to increase economic growth and make that growth more inclusive, a goal shared by policies across South Asia and Africa. An increasingly globalised world that presents new opportunities but also new problems will need to serve as the foundation for future progress. New technologies provide more than just "catch-up" [1].
Growth enables people to escape poverty
Strong evidence is routinely found in studies comparing the outcomes of a wide range of developing nations to show that rapid and sustained growth is the single most effective method for reducing poverty. These cross-country studies often predict that a 10% rise in a nation's average income will result in a 20–30% decrease in the poverty rate. Research on both individual nations and groupings of nations supports the idea that growth has a key role in determining how quickly poverty is reduced. For instance, a landmark study of 14 nations conducted in the 1990s found that while poverty decreased in the 11 nations that saw significant growth and increased in the two others during the course of the decade A society's ability to generate and consume more and better economic goods and services is known as economic growth [2,3].
Even if the definition of economic growth is simple, measuring it is really challenging. It's crucial to remember that growth is not defined by increases in household income or inflation-adjusted GDP; similarly, life expectancy is a metric of population health but is by no means the definition of population health. Income metrics are simply one tool to comprehend the economic disparities that exist across nations and how prosperity changes over time. An economy's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a gauge of overall output. It is obvious how growth and decreasing poverty are positively correlated. It is less clear how the income distribution affects this relationship, specifically whether greater inequality diminishes the decrease in poverty brought on by growth. The degree to which income inequality exists at the outset affects how well growth reduces poverty. For instance, it has been calculated that a 1% increase in income levels might lead to a 4.3% decrease in poverty in nations with extremely low inequality or as little as a 0.6% decrease in poverty in nations with high inequality. Given the many variables, such calculations need to be interpreted carefully [4].
Even if inequality rises along with growth, impoverished people won't always lose out; rather, they will merely gain less from growth than other households. But unlike popular opinion, inequality does not always rise as a result of prosperity. The most recent empirical study is unanimous in its conclusion that there is no consistent association between inequality and changes in income, despite some theoretical studies suggesting a causal relationship between growth and inequality (and vice versa). We know that economic prosperity and sustained economic growth are relatively recent achievements for humanity from the long-term perspective of social history. We shall also examine this more recent period in this post, as well as the disparity between various places. Poverty reduction is simply one benefit of economic progress. A strong correlation between economic growth and more general indicators of human development has also been demonstrated [5].
Materialism is not the basic driver of economic progress. A Nobel winner has said that economic growth is essential for enhancing the substantive freedoms that people value. These liberties are closely linked to enhancements in the level of living in general, including more opportunity for people to live longer, be healthier, and eat better. 17 Growth creates beneficial cycles of abundance and opportunity. Strong economic growth and employment prospects increase the incentives for families to invest in their children's education by sending them to school. This could result in a powerful and expanding group of entrepreneurs emerging. The secret to enhanced wealth is technological innovation that boosts productivity. But advances in technology occurred earlier than the 17th century.
Gains in productivity were a result of these advances, and the resulting increases in output resulted in greater affluence. but only for a little while. Technology advancements in the Malthusian pre-growth economy had a different impact. They did not permanently increase living standards; rather, they increased population size. Gregory Clark, an economist and economic historian, puts it succinctly thus way: "In the preindustrial era, intermittent technological improvement produced people, not riches.
