23.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 been one of the top priorities of every state around the world.

However

, some experts believe that rich

countries

with an additional increase in economic wealth cannot create more satisfaction for their

citizens

. Personally, I hold a different perspective on

this

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

Due to

the tasks of expanding the

economy

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

Therefore

, people may not have enough time dedicated to their leisure activities.

This

can cause an increase in stress and depression which are the two main indicators when measuring the happiness index of a certain country.

For example

, despite being the most developed

economy

in the world, the U.S. has the highest suicide rate globally.

On the other hand

, the belief that a rise in the

economy

is positively associated with more happiness is grounded for several reasons.

Firstly

, it is undeniable that

citizens

from the developed

economy

can 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

, the world has witnessed a huge flow of people from underdeveloped and developing

countries

migrating to developed ones with the hope of a brighter future.

Secondly

, with a prosperous

economy

, wealthier nations can have more resources to deal with social issues

such

as improving educational quality and overcoming environmental damage and inequalities. To illustrate, during the COVID-19 pandemic,

while

poor

countries

were struggling to provide their

citizens

with daily needs like food, medicine and accommodation, residents from rich nations can easily overcome the pandemic with financial support them their governments. In conclusion,

although

the growth in the

economy

may lead to a more stressful workload, I firmly believe that

this

development can contribute significantly to a person's fulfilment thanks to a higher living standard and social issues being addressed. It is advisable that

countries

should continuously develop their economies to enhance the happiness of their

citizens

.
