What's the difference between "extensive economic growth mode" and "intensive economic growth mode"? How to understand

Generally speaking, the mode of economic growth refers to the method and mode to realize economic growth through the change of factor structure, including the increase of production factors in quantity or quality. Usually, the growth mode that mainly depends on increasing the input of production factors and pursuing the expansion of product quantity is called extensive growth mode; The growth mode that pays attention to relying on scientific and technological progress and improving the quality of workers, strengthening management and improving efficiency is called intensive growth mode. The connotation of intensive economic development mode is more abundant, including not only the change of factor structure, but also the industrial structure, demand structure, urban-rural structure, regional structure, resources and ecological environment. To change the mode of economic development, we should not only change from extensive growth to intensive growth, but also change from ordinary economic growth to comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable economic development.
