The bad part of economic growth
Many countries around the world are experiencing rapid economic growth coupled with this growth are alleviated standard of living and industrialization. Alleviated standard of living is a positive result of growth because more people can now access the basic necessities of life like higher income and education. With industrialization, there is a good and a bad side for this. The good part of this is that many people can have a job from the industrial sectors. But the bad part is that the health of the people residing in the industrial centers are compromised. Unlike in the developed world the industrial centers are planned or zoned so that it won’t overlap the residential areas where as in the developing world industrial centers evolved instantly in the residential centers thereby compromising the health of the residents. Carbon gasses and industrial waste are some of the pollutants that are hazardous to the health of the people. According to studies there is an increasing incident of lung cancer, mesothelioma and toxic poisoning in countries China, India and Mexico. The good thing is that these countries are also looking for ways to manage their waste, I just hope it will be successful.
