It is true that many governments agree that the progress of the economy should be the most substantial aim. This goal could lead to several threats and must be addressed by some viable solutions.
To begin with, there are two main problems caused by the government focusing mostly on economic growth. Firstly, they would have the tendency to ignore other aspects of development. In this case, to achieve the successful growth of the economy, there should be a collaboration of people working in various fields, such as education, health, or infrastructure. For example, the economy would develop when the country is supported with educated and healthy citizens, which would work together to achieve the same target. Secondly, the first problem could also lead to a significant drop in the quality of other essential aspects. For example, in the educational field, the government would not focus on improving the school facilities or providing a training program to improve the teacher’s skills. Consequently, it could result in the decline of students’ knowledge and skills. This example could apply to other aspects as well.
To tackle this alarming issue, there are several measures that could be taken. First, the society, as the ones who would be most affected by the government’s decisions, must be involved in movements to keep the authorities to be aware of the consequences of their decisions. This could be done through campaigns, petitions, or social media complaints. Second, the government must also engage the citizens in their meetings, which leads to fairer decisions especially for the society.
In conclusion, the economic development should be followed by the development of other aspects.
