The economic growth rates gives information on how fast the economy is growing,and is calculated by comparing the economic output (measured as the Gross Domestic Product or GDP) of two subsequent periods.
<u>The two main determinants of GDP/economic growth are:</u>
- Productivity increases caused by more efficient use of inputs (labor, capital) and implementation of innovation.
- Accumulation of physical capital
<u>Effects of economic growth</u>
- Larger amount of goods and services are available in the country and ready for consumption
- High employments levels, as workers are necessary to manufacture that large quantity of goods and services. As GDP has grown, so have done employment figures.
- More employment brings boosts on aggregate demand and generate further growth as business will keep on trying to serve the whole demand.
- As demand grows it is quite likely that prices do so too, therefore economic growth would increase the inflation rate (not necessarily a problem if such growth is not too large and remains stable).
- Productivity increases and implementation of innovations make national firms more efficient and competitive in the international markets.

Explanation:
Once it was decided that India should be granted independence everyone seemed happy and excited about it, but they were not aware that the country was going to be partitioned. India was partitioned into two nations, India and Pakistan (West and East), based on the dominant religion. The reason for the partition was to avoid conflicts between the two groups, but they occurred nonetheless immediately after the independence. Both the Hindus and the Muslims were not pleased, so they started to riot and attack each other, with the end result being a refugee crisis. Millions of people were dislocated, lost their homes and families, or lost their lives.
