Leader in you - First Talk - GDP and happiness
1 like539 views
The document is a presentation about alternatives to GDP as a measure of economic welfare and happiness. It discusses the limitations of GDP, including that it does not account for income distribution, non-market activities, or factors like health, education and environmental quality. It then outlines some proposals that have been made to develop more comprehensive measures, such as the Gross National Happiness index used in Bhutan and reports by commissions in Europe and the UK advocating a broader set of indicators beyond GDP.
