Government spending or exports can lead to a higher to aggregate demand and higher economic growth. “Economic growth requires increases in total spending to realize the output gain made available by increased production capacity” (McConnell, 2012, p. 513). One way to accomplish this is by lowering interest rates. Lower interest rates make borrowing cheaper. This encourages consumers to spend more money. Efficiency is attained when resources are used “…in the least costly way to produce the specific mix of goods and services that maximizes people’s well-being” (McConnell, 2012, p. 513). For example, when human resources are not being used to their full potential unemployment will increase. As unemployment increases, total spending will decrease. This will lower growth rates. Supply factors such as increases in natural resources, increases in human resources, increases in the supply of capital goods, and improvements in technology create a higher economic growth rate (McConnell, 2012, p. 512).…

As, we all know, Singapore is becoming an ageing population soon. So, a shrinking and ageing population means younger workforce, and a less vibrant and innovative economy. With slower business activity and employment opportunities, it will become more difficult to match the higher aspirations of a better educated and mobile Singaporean population. This may hollow out our population and workforce and worsen our ratio of younger to older Singaporeans. With our growing number of senior citizens, healthcare and long term care spending is expected to increase. As a result, the smaller number of people in the workforce may have to pay higher taxes to support the ageing population and their growing needs. As the economy stagnates, it will be a strain on our resources to invest in infrastructure, or to address the needs of lower-income Singaporeans. Without economic growth, social and welfare programmes can quickly become unsustainable.…
