Economics Studies Important for Growth

Economics graduates exist in areas of Agriculture, Finance, Labour, Environment, Health, Education, Mining, Land, Business, Innovation and Design, Climate change, Transport, Sports, Technological Advancement, Fisheries, Forestry, Water, Energy, Town Planning and the list goes on.

Though Economics is often misconstrued as a theoretical subject, it has strategic roles and offers an analytical dimension towards nation building.

During this crisis, as labour/ health data becomes statistically critical, economics worries more about the impact of income losses within households.

While businesses look at their bottom line, economists considers how economic activity can be generated to keep the machinery moving that will ensure that those bottom lines are realised.

At the end of the day, economists collate data, run scenario tests on models and devise strategies to assist policymakers to make decisions that matter.
