Wellbeing: A better way of measuring society’s progress

Wednesday, 30 April 2008

Following on from the work that Forward Scotland undertook last year on happiness and wellbeing we are pleased in partnership with the Scottish Council Foundation to release our latest piece of research.  This research discusses and proposes a a basket of subjective indicators which could be used as an alternative to GDP.   Forward Scotland rejects the premise that economic growth, as expressed by GDP should be the principle means of measuring progress. A nation that embraces the principles of sustainable development would seek to achieve a more equitable balance between the spheres of the environment, the economy and society.  Wellbeing: A better way of measuring society's progress Tags See All Tags happiness  indicators  wellbeing
