THE CORE OF KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY DEVELOPMENT

Economic development is a branch of economics which has aims to analyze the problems faced and find ways / methods of settlement in economic development, especially in developing countries, so that economic development become faster and more harmonious. In the knowledge economy, analysis and development methods or related concerns with aspects beyond the economic field, problems such as poverty, unemployment, inequality and economic, demographic and education issues, social, cultural, political and environmental.

Economic development is economic growth that can cause changes, especially changes to the decreasing rate of population growth and changes of economic structure, good role to the establishment of national income, and it uses in the provision of employment. Todaro defines economic development as a multidimensional process that includes changes in the structure, the attitudes of life, and in addition includes the institutional improvement of economic growth, decreasing inequality of income distribution and poverty . All countries do economic development, both state that have relatively developed and undeveloped. Countries that have relatively advanced developing countries is also called, in addition to organize themselves to continue to be developed, also put a little more attention to the development countries that are still relatively undeveloped. In this case, is a developing country that is classified as low income and middle in rate <$ 4,500. Economic development efforts is to increase the living standard of a nation that is often measured with high and low per income real. Thus, the purpose of economic development in addition to increasing the national income in real terms also for increase productivity. In general, it can be said that the level of output at a certain time is determined by the availability or use of resources both natural and human resources, the level of technology, market conditions and framework of economic life or economic system and the attitude of the output itself
With the development of the economic output of a community or property or the economy will grow. Besides happiness of the population will increase because economic development is to increase chance wide selection.
Economic development can give to people greater ability to control the natural surroundings and enhance the level of their freedom to hold in a certain action. Therefore, economic development should be implemented.
Primeval people living in primitive communities and their lives come from horticulturalism and hunting with tools and methods are simple. They work hard to meet the needs of subsistence living. Initially they succeed, but because the fertility of land cultivated for agriculture, and greatly reduced the population increase, it is often because hunger there is not adequate to harvest the needs are the result of hunger, disease and death. Economic development and the ability to provide the opportunity for them to overcome these problems. With the improvement of production techniques will be more production (food) that can be produced using fewer workers. The number of infant mortality to be reduced and the level of adult mortality also declined.

Economic development rather give a freedom to choose which more extensive. In an economy that is still primitive, people forced to work hard just to maintain his life not just for the dead. With economic development will be available more opportunities to live life have fun. Besides the things mentioned above, will also be available more services that work for prepaire human needs.

In reality, women enjoy the results more economic development than the men. In countries that are relatively undeveloped, women always work weight. Like the other countries that have been advanced, some household work done with the help of equipment such as washing machine, refrigerator, and so forth, so they are not heavy burden. They are no longer with hand washing, take the water source with water every day shopping and so forth. Consequently, women have the same opportunity as well as with the men. Demand that they had to work, and working level with the men. They can educate their children better.

Economic development also allows people to have more human characteristics, because the more the number of facilities available. Persons who are expected to help other people if the need for himself has been fulfilled and there is a surplus available to other people who suffered disability because of natural disaster or poor.

With economic development will be expected to reduce the chasm of difference between countries that are grown and the countries that have been developed.

However, such, few studies have produced estimates which the developing countries even more have been aware poor, will understand the importance of economic development and strive to make this level of development will be quite high according to their ability
