Description

What is national wellbeing and what is progress? Why measure these definitions? Why are measures beyond economic performance needed and how will they be used?

How do we measure national wellbeing & turn the definitions into observable quantities?

Where are we now and where to next? These questions are asked and answered in this much needed, timely book. The Wellbeing of Nations provides an accessible and comprehensive overview of the measurement of national well-being, examining whether national wellbeing is more than the sum of the wellbeing of everyone in the country, and identifying and reviewing requirements for new measures.

It begins with definitions, describes how to operationalize those definitions, and takes a critical look at the uses to which such measures are to be put.

The authors examine initiatives from around the world, using the UK 'measuring national wellbeing programme' as a case study throughout the book, along with case studies drawn from other countries, as well as discussion of the position in some countries not yet drawn into the national wellbeing scene.
