QUALITATIVE ECONOMIC GROWTH AS A MAIN FACTOR IN IMPROVING THE STANDARD OF LIVING AND WELL-BEING OF THE COUNTRY’S POPULATION

Abstract

This article examines the crucial role of qualitative economic growth in improving the living standards and general well-being of the country's population. As is known, the positive dynamics of gross domestic product over the years reflect only the quantitative growth of economic indicators. However, qualitative economic growth, in contrast to it, allows us to separately consider structural improvements in production, technological innovation, human capital development and social equality. The study shows how sustainable and inclusive forms of growth contribute to poverty reduction, social stability and long-term national well-being. The article analyzes the theoretical foundations and practical examples of economies at different levels, revealing that the quality of economic expansion is a decisive factor in ensuring a fair distribution of wealth and increasing the level of life satisfaction of the population
