Economic growth and the standard of living. Social aspects of economic activity
Abstract
The economic growth of development countries indicates that beside positive effects,
manifesting themselves through the growth of material consumption and wealth of society,
economic growth brings also negative effects. At some stage of economic growth those negative
effects will equalize or exceed a positive effect, i.e. the growth of material wealth, and at that point
economic development will lose its social sense. The growth of consumption and material
well-being alone cannot be considered a sufficient measure of the social effect of the economic
growth. An adequate, full expression of the social effect of the economic activity is the category of
the standard of living The standard of living is the resultant of the level of needs and the level of
real social consumption (understood widely, i.e. the consumption of the whole range of material
and non-material goods and services, including the consumption of non-material services such as
education, health protection, social security, etc.).
The standard of living is determined by a set of economic, demographic and social factors. Of
particular significance are economic determinants, among them the level and speed of the
economic growth. The article presents in some detail the mothod of "translating" the direct effect
of the economic growth, i.e. the GNP, into the social effect understood as the standard of living.
There exists also a reverse correlation, i.e. the standard of living determines the level and
speed of the economic growth. The higher the standard of living, the stronger its influence on the
dynamics of economy. In the final part of the article the Author presents the way and conditions
of that influence.
