Uneconomic growth

Uneconomic growth is when the economy grows, but it does not lead to improvements in people's lives. This can happen when the growth is not well-distributed, or when it does not lead to good jobs, increased wages, or other things that could help people. It can also happen when growth leads to pollution or environmental damage. Uneconomic growth usually doesn't last long because people will eventually realize that the economy is not doing anything to improve their lives.
