Economic growth is one way to measure a country’s success, but what else should we look at? Which do you think is the most important?

A variety of economic indicators

such

as gross domestic product have been used to measure one

nation

’s

level

of development. It is true that these quantitative methods are efficient to adapt but

also

have drawbacks.

This

essay will examine the various factors we can consider and explain why the

level

of citizens’ happiness is the most important. The scope of the economic market in a

nation

used to be regarded as the representation of prosperity since

people

believed that trade between locals or countries led to strong nations in which

people

could live successful lives.

However

, the

success

of a

nation

is not symbolized only in an economic part. Even though a

nation

has developed economically, there is a possibility that

people

cannot live safely because of the threat of war.

Also

, the gap between the rich and the poor might be severe, which results in deficits in infrastructure

such

as schools, electricity, and purified water in remote and rural areas. We cannot conclude that a

nation

with

this

circumstance is successful. I firmly believe that the

overall

level

of satisfaction or happiness of

people

is the most crucial factor to consider in measuring the

nation

’s

success

.

Success

is not an objective but a subjective thing. Nobody can judge easily whether someone is successful or not. The nations are the same. If the

people

’s average

level

of satisfaction is high, the country is successful no matter their economy is developing and still has a long way to be a developed country.

To conclude

,

although

an economic approach is the easiest way to compare the countries’

success

, qualitative factors

such

as the

level

of satisfaction of citizens are one of the most pivotal parts
