Resources include money, time, human skills, tools, technology, and natural materials like water, land, fossil fuels, and minerals. With the global population exceeding 8 billion and growing by tens of millions every year, the demand for essentials such as food, shelter, education, healthcare, and employment continues to rise.

Understanding these two branches of economics helps explain how various forces shape the overall health of an economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An economy includes all the activities involved in producing, buying, and selling goods and services. In a strong economy, people usually have more job opportunities, higher incomes, and better access to the things they need. In a struggling economy, jobs can be harder to find, wages may be lower, and access to basic needs can become limited. Factors like job availability, wages, consumer spending, government policies, and global trade can influence an economy\u2019s strength or weakness. Natural disasters, political instability, and resource shortages can weaken economies by disrupting production and reducing access to goods and services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u8be5 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sdgs.un.org\/goals\/goal8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">United Nations\u2019 Sustainable Development Goal 8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> promotes economic growth that leads to decent work, equal opportunities, and environmental protection.
