population of the world grow the amount of land per worker will decline and future productivity
will fall. Having learned about the factors that contribute to economic growth, why do you think
his prediction about the future of the word turned out to be incorrect? Provide a brief explanation.

Definition Definition Increase in the amount of goods and services produced by a country in a given period of time compared to an earlier period. Economic growth is generally coupled with a rise in national income or the purchasing power of individuals. It is often measured in terms of the increase in a country's gross domestic product (GDP), or the overall monetary value of all the complete or final services and goods that a country can produce within its domestic boundaries in a specific period.
