Development does not only involve GDP growth, but also exceeds this level, towards a qualitative change in society's plans, which translates into ensuring the well-being of the population. This research aims to highlight the fact that economic development is the expansion beyond the gross domestic product, through changes that refer to people's quality of life, in the long run and in which the elements characteristic of economic growth become fundamental elements of development.
