Answer:
The welfare of the people may or may not rise with expansion in GDP.
Explanation:
An increase in the GDP indicates economic growth, but the welfare of the people depends on economic development. Economic growth is a very narrow concept that includes only growth in output.
But the increase in output does not necessarily mean that welfare is increasing as well. An increase in pollution, inequitable distribution of income, an increase in crime rates etc may lead to a decrease in welfare.
