Some extent, a society that grows probably looks like a society of growth along many aspects. That means down to the mindsets of populace. But just age characteristics will tell you the population characteristics skew towards the elderly for the next couple to few decades. And at least in the US those same people seem to have a stranglehold on all forms of political process. That’s not what a vibrant, growing society looks like. Edit-consider the decades that led to the baby booming period of the 50s-60s. The world had ended WWII on the anti-fascist/pro-democracy side. And a Cold War started over the path the world would take. There were housing programs and I build affordable housing for the war vets. Energy was cheap and nuclear would eventually make metering it unneeded-more indicative of mindset than reality of course.
