Increase in per capita availability of goods and services does raise the standard of living and consequently welfare. But it may not necessarily always be so. For example, manufacturing etc. does raise output but at the same time also leads to water and air pollution which reduces welfare of the people. Such a reduction in welfare may outweigh the increase in welfare and thus lead to overall reduction in werlfare.
