Cevap

Economic growth focuses on quantitative increases in national output (measured by GDP growth rates), while economic development is a qualitative transformation focusing on human welfare and living standards (measured by HDI).
Economic growth refers specifically to quantitative, measurable increases in national income and output (such as real GDP growth rates). In contrast, economic development is a qualitative concept encompassing economic growth alongside structural changes, poverty reduction, and improved quality of life metrics measured by indices like the Human Development Index (HDI).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the nature of the first pair (quantitative real GDP increase)
A rise in real GDP represents a numerical increase in output, which defines Economic Growth.
Growth is single-dimensional and purely quantitative.
2
Identify the nature of the second pair (improvements in living standards, healthcare, literacy)
Qualitative socio-economic transformations define Economic Development.
Development addresses the quality of life beyond mere income generation.
3
Associate the measurement metrics for development and growth
HDI measures Economic Development, while the percentage increase in real output measures Economic Growth.
HDI incorporates life expectancy, schooling, and per capita income, whereas growth metrics focus solely on output change.
