Is our society progressing towards more well-being, prosperity and sustainability? The response of the European Statistical System
Indicators of economic development, like the GDP, do not tell how people and our environment are doing. To get a better and more complete picture, economic indicators need to be supplemented with indicators that monitor social and environmental progress. This leaflet gives a general overview of achievements in terms of ‘measurement’ capacities on complementing GDP within the European Statistical System (ESS). It presents improvements in existing methods as how to better measure the society’s well-being, prosperity and progress whilst maintaining environmental sustainability.
