Overview

The course Economics: Measuring Economic Growth provides learners with a comprehensive overview of the key elements involved in measuring and analysing economic growth. Economic growth is a central factor in shaping the wealth of nations, affecting employment, living standards, and poverty levels. It is essential for policymakers, economists, and business leaders to gauge the health of an economy and its growth trajectory. This course will explore the fundamental tools and indicators used in measuring economic performance, such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, and income distribution, and their effects on the overall economy.

The curriculum is designed to help learners develop a deep insight into the mechanics of economic growth and the challenges it presents. By assessing GDP, inflation, and the disparities in income distribution, students will gain a critical understanding of how these factors influence economic decision-making. The course also addresses the persistent issue of poverty, exploring how economic growth can sometimes lead to inequality and how it can be measured in ways that ensure all citizens benefit. This foundation prepares learners to engage with real-world economic data and understand its implications for businesses, governments, and society as a whole.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
