Differentiating Growth & Development
 

Growth is taken to mean an increase in the size of an object or a living being. ‘The lump as grown in size’ is an example of its usage. Development is taken to mean an improvement in the level of functioning. Read more: http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-growth-and-development 
 
Growth usually refers to a noticeable increase in the size of the organism or a specific part of the organism. It is usually macroscopically apparent, i.e. you can observe it with a naked eye. Development is a broader term then growth. Growth is a type of development. Some developments do not correlate with overall increase in size of the organism or its parts. For example, during early human development (right after birth), the neurons in the brain start to make critical connections, which give later adult functions, such as vision. This is considered as a DEVELOPEMENT, but it is usually not regarded as growth, because 1) you can observe it without advanced instrument 2) it doesn't cause increase of size of anything.

Growth means increase or addition in size, height, length or weight and can be measured. Development means change in shape, form or structure so as to improve in working or functioning. Development implies certain qualitative changes or changes in character leading to maturity of improvement in functioning. Arms grow large but also they develop by undergoing certain changes which equip them for better work.

Growth is defined as an increase in size; development is defined as a progression toward maturity. growth could be positive or negative but development is always positive.

Human growth is based on biological events that cause you to grow physically that naturally occur during the early stages of your life. Developmental growth, however, is the product of psychological and social growth, emphasized byenvironmental and individual behavioral factors, sometimes more simply referred to as maturity. While both of these natural processes are vastly different, both growth and development are closely related steps in producing healthy adults.

Economic Growth is a narrower concept than economic development.It is an increase in a country's real level of national output which can be caused by an increase in the quality of resources (by education etc.), increase in the quantity of resources & improvements in technology or in another way an increase in the value of goods and services produced by every sector of the economy. Economic Growth can be measured by an increase in a country's GDP (gross domestic product).

Economic development is a normative concept i.e. it applies in the context of people's sense of morality (right and wrong, good and bad). The definition of economic development given by Michael Todaro is an increase in living standards, improvement in self-esteem needs and freedom from oppression as well as a greater choice. The most accurate method of measuring development is the Human Development Index which takes into account the literacy rates & life expectancy which affect productivity and could lead to Economic Growth. It also leads to the creation of more opportunities in the sectors of education, healthcare, employment and the conservation of the environment.It implies an increase in the per capita income of every citizen.

Growth mean increase in physical structure with reference to age of an object while development means increasing of other factors such as mental, social, and secondry sexual charactor in an object at which we say person has some maturity.

"Economic Growth means more output and changes in the technical and institutional arrangements. Growth not only implies more output but also more efficiency and more inputs. While Economic Development is a wider concept and it goes beyond the changes in the structure of output and allocation of inputs".

Leading American economist Herman Daly illustrates the fundamental difference between growth and development by these definitions:

  • Growth – the quantitative increase in size or throughput of biophysical matter. Daly has argued economic growth is based on the “limitless transformation of natural capital into man-made capital”.
  • Development – the qualitative improvement in economic welfare from increased quality of goods and services as defined by their ability to increase human well-being. This infers promoting increased economic activity only insofar as it does not exceed the capacity of the ecosystem to sustain it.

Development and growth are two words that are often spoken of in similar contexts, but which hold very different meanings to their credit. There are quite a few differences that make the two words easily definable. For instance, growth is a quantitative factor whereas development can be both quantitative and qualitative.

Human growth deals with just the physical aspects of development. Human development however includes not only human growth but the psychological aspects. The easy way to remenber the difference is: Human growth is getting bigger. Development is becoming more efficient.

Growth is an increase in size; development is an increase in capability.

Covey defines “effective” as a formula: the P/PC Balance. P stands for production while PC stands for production capability. Essentially, an effective individual must learn to balance his mindset, focusing on the goal (the benefit of productivity) while simultaneously staying committed to the process necessary for achieving the goal (the continuous development of capability). This represents a balance of short-term and long-term thinking.

Helpful Hint: Growth and Development are differentiated @F-L-O-W and must be, as each holds a differential set of equations in determining appropriate algorithms for scaffolding. Covey's notion of P/PC has always stuck with me, as they are too different streams describing growth, what is happening now through productivity algorithms/models and development, what is happening over time to shift the ability to produce in the future. While it might be true that growth is quanity and development is quality, that oversimpliifcation may be less helpful, than understanding the role of growth, and the role of development in the individual as well as collective @F-L-O-W.
Action Step: Find and identify what is growing, and what is developing in you, from a view of your past, but also now, near and far. Differentiate those into two simultaneous streams that are weaving your personal experience. Design ways to scaffold each, noticing how you are using the natural as well as the recalibrated design to meet success requirements, for growth and development intersubjectively.
