FACTORS AFFECTING NATIONAL INCOME.


FACTORS AFFECTING NATIONAL INCOME
FACTORS OF PRODUCTION.
·        Natural resources – if an economy has a plentiful supply of natural resources it may help it to expand.
·        However, natural resources on their own are not enough. There also have to be the skilled people to exploit the opportunities.
ü CAPITAL
·        More capital generally means more production, and more production means more growth.
·        To get capital, countries have to invest and so the level of investment may be a big determinant of future growth.
ü LAND
·        Resources like coal, iron & timber are essential for heavy industries so that they must be available and accessible.
ü LABOUR & ENTREPRENEUR.
·        The quality or productivity of human resources is more important than quantity.
·        Manpower planning and education affect the productivity and production capacity of an economy.
2. TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS.
·        This is perhaps the most widely accepted source of economic growth.
·        This is because technology makes it possible to produce more from the same quantity of resources (or factors of production). This boosts the potential level of output of the economy. The pace of technological change will depend on :
-         The scientific skills of the country.
-         The quality of education.
-         The amount of GDP devoted to research and development.
3. GOVERNMENT.
·        Government can help to provide a favorable business environment for investment.
·        It provides laws and order, regulations that affect exchanges.
·        The government should promotes free trade and competition which  encourage economic  activities.
4. POLITICAL STABILITY.
·        A stable economic and political system helps the allocation of resources.
·        Wars, strikes and social unrest will discourage investments and business activities.

One of the aspects that entrepreneurs find most daunting is raising start-up capital. Gone are the days of pitching investors with hot new technology ideas. Today, entrepreneurs are much more likely to dive into their own pockets and hunker down for a battle to start up and stay alive. But if you don't have the cash in your wallet, what do you do?  Luckily, there are still options for funding new companies but finding and securing the cash will take careful research, good negotiating skills, and, above all, an unflagging commitment to launching your new business. Start your capital search with a good business plan that shows investors and lenders your company's potential. Follow that up with a thorough knowledge of the resources available and a determination to make your business a reality and you should be on your way to uncovering a source that fits your new business's cash needs.

INCREASE YOUR FINANCIAL IQ

  Money Is Not Evil One of the greatest failures of the educational system is the failure to provide financial  education to students. Educators seem to think that money has Some sort of quasi-religious or cult-like taint to it, believing that the love of money is the root of all evil. As most of us know, it is not the love of money that is evil—it is the lack of money that causes evil. It is working at a job we hate that is evil. Working hard yet not earning enough to provide for our families is evil. For some, being deeply in debt is evil. Fighting with people you love over money is evil. Being greedy is evil. And committing criminal or immoral acts to get money is evil. Money by itself is not evil. Money is just money.   Your House Is Not an Asset The lack of financial education also causes people to do stupid things or be misled by stupid people. For example, in 1997, when I first published Rich Dad Poor Dad and stated that “Your house is not an a
