Some think that a country’s success is completely dependent on economic progress while others believe that other factors are also important. What are the different factors contributing to the success of a country? Do you believe that one factor is more important than others?

It is argued by some individuals that economic

progress

is

one

of the main contributing factors to the

country

’s success.

Although

economic

progress

is

one

of the

criteria

for the nation’s success, I believe the social

progress

index

should

also

be considered. On the

one

hand, the growth of the economy is the main criterion that makes a

country

become great. The measurement of economic

progress

is GDP (growth domestic product) or the amount a

country

earns. America is

one

example of a

country

which has high GDP

index

based on the world bank, and

this

nation

also

considers a top five successful

country

due to

being

one

of the highest-income nations in the world.

In addition

, an unemployment

rate

includes a progressive economic

rate

in a

country

. When people have a job, they can afford their basic needs

such

as meals, accommodation, and bills. The less of the unemployment

rate

is, the more successful a nation is. The UK is

one

of the

countries

that has the lowest unemployment

rate

so

this

country

is

one

of the successful

countries

based on economic growth

criteria

.

On the other hand

, social

index

progress

is an important factor that should be considered to assess a

country

’s success. The social

index

progress

includes how the

countries

serve their populations, human rights, access to education and health, and a fair law system.

For instance

,

Denmark

and New Zealand are two

countries

that consider to be successful

countries

based on social

criteria

. Both

countries

treat their citizens really well. Populations in

Denmark

feel happy because of the measurement of social

index

progress

; the employees feel satisfied with their work because their rights are fulfilled whether right as an employee or as a citizen in

Denmark

. It is

also

known that the

index

of worker turnover in

Denmark

is low.

Although

the GDP

rate

in

Denmark

is far less than in America and the UK, the

index

of happiness in

this

country

is the highest among other

countries

around the world.

This

means social

index

progress

is the far pivotal criterion to make a

country

great.

To sum up

,

while

economic factors are the

criteria

that make successful

countries

, I believe that based on the citizen perspective social factors are more significant in terms of a progressive

country

.
