Economic growth can make a country worse off.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that economic growth can make a country worse off?

Unclear. Two peer-reviewed items offer only partial, hedged support: one notes growth's benefits were unevenly distributed and India's poor may have become worse off, and another finds economic development poorly explains declining teacher mental health in China. Neither settles the general claim that growth can make a country worse off.
