Abstract
There are essentially four approaches to constructing a better measure than GDP of whether the nation is making true progress in improving wellbeing; adjusting GDP to make it more suitable, replacing it with a ‘dashboard’ of alternative indicators, weighting these alternative indicators to form a composite indicator, and using peoples’ own reported assessments of their well-being.
