Growth is like when your piggy bank gets fuller, but development means you actually start buying toys and going to the park. Growth is about getting more money, but development is about living better.
Examples
- Growth happens when a country produces more goods, but development means people can actually enjoy them, like having enough food and being able to go to school.
- Development is when a village gets electricity and clean water, even if its economy isn’t growing as fast as the city next door.
- Growth might make rich people richer, but development helps everyone get better lives.
