Answer 2

The difference between growth and development depends on the context, the jargon in which the terms are being used. Balaji’s answer is excellent with regards to economic growth and development.

In biological systems, growth indicates a quantifiable change in size, whereas development indicates a transformation of structure. So a small caterpillar eats lots of leaves and grows large. It then develops a chrysalis (a cocoon). Inside, it appears not to change. Yet it is developing. Old organs are dissolving and completely new organs of a different order, are taking their place. At the end of this process of development, a butterfly is born.

Growth and development have a very complex interaction. Human children both grow and develop from birth through about 18 years of age. The growth in physical size is measurable. The development of sexual organs at puberty is clear. Subtler types of development, such as the development of motor skills for coordination and the development of brain functions between birth and age 8 are more hidden and more complex.

A company may shrink while developing. For example, if a company is relying on a few major products that have become unpopular, it may be falling in revenue while investing resources in developing a new breakthrough product.

It is important to be aware that, when these terms are used in social and political contexts, the authors using the words, themselves, may not be clear on the precise definitions of the terms they are using.
