Some experts believe that when a country is already rich, any additional increase in economic wealth does not make its citizens any more satisfied. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Economic growth has become one of the top priorities of every state around the world.

However

with any additional increase in economic wealth are unable to create more satisfaction for their citizens. Personally, I hold a different perspective on

notion. On the one hand, it is argued that individuals from improved societies may not experience greater pleasure because of the heavy workload.

Due to

the tasks of expanding the

, businesses are required to boost their productivity and foster innovative progress, leading to increased working hours.

Therefore

, people may have less time for leisure activities, causing a rise in stress and pressure which are the two main indicators when measuring the happiness index in a certain country.

For example

is positively associated with greater happiness for several reasons.

Firstly

, it is undoubtedly that individuals from rich

countries

have a higher living standard, including better living conditions with modern facilities and more chances to access the top education system and the world-class healthcare system.

As a result

with the hope of a brighter future.

Secondly
