Economic growth is the only way to end world poverty. However, some people say it leads to environmental damage and should be stopped. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The increase in the amount of goods and services produced per head of population over a period of time is measured in terms of economic

growth

. It is true that economic

growth

plays a vital role in eliminating the

poverty

of any country.

Thus

, I strongly agreed that the benefits of economic

growth

are far greater than its damages on the part of the environment. (65) We had seen in the past that people had limited resources and

thus

lead a very simple life. They had fewer occupations and lack of education. In short, the process of economic

growth

was really slow in the past. (39) Presently, it is doubtless that uplifting economy and reducing

poverty

is a major goal of every country. Nowadays, economic

growth

is not only boosting the socioeconomic standards of any nation, but it is

also

contributing a lot in reducing the

poverty

of the

world

.

For example

, if the production of goods and services in any country matches the needs of its residents,

then

its economy is automatically jumped high.

Similarly

, the economic

growth

is produced more opportunities for people and prevent them from falling into

poverty

. (86) The recent development in the

world

economy,

although

, has generated some environmental issues like cutting of forests, clearing land for housing,

however

, it has played a major role in uplifting the social and economical standards of people all over the

world

.

Thus

, if the countries keep on growing economies in a positive way,

then

the

world

will soon get rid of

poverty

in the near future. (66)

Hence

, despite its few environmental concerns, economic

growth

is the best solution to end

world

poverty

. (16)
