Answer to Question 1

The speed at which an economy grows determines the standard of living of its people. If an economy grows too slowly, then standards of living can decline. If a country is already poor, then slow growth can fail to raise standards of living of its citizens. This can result in people living in poverty, poor health, having poor nutrition, low life expectancy, high infant mortality, and an overall poor quality of life. On the other hand, more rapid rates of growth can improve standards of living. This can lift people out of poverty, raise life expectancy, improve health, eliminate hunger, and improve the general quality of life.
