Economic Growth: three sources

  1. Physical capital growth
  2. Human capital growth
    • (e.g.) Investment in human capital to boost literacy and technical skills.
  3. Technological advances
    • (e.g.) Discovery of new technologies to increase productivity.

Increasing consumption through population growth, including immigration, does NOT necessarily lead to economic growth.
