How many years does it take to become an economist?

Certain pursuits go on endlessly. So is the case with Economics. The study goes on. It is not a 9-5 job. It is academic in nature.

Hi Akanksha, Economists analyse issues related to growth and development, welfare and policy formulation, and assess their long and short term significance for the country. Economics is the study of production and distribution processes and the most effective means of utilizing available resources.
