Description

The Quality of Life, part of the WIDER Studies in Development Economics series, examines the limitations of standard economic indicators. While per capita income is often used to measure success, it remains a crude metric for actual human well-being. This collection of essays addresses the need for a systematic exploration of how to make the concept of quality of life concrete and usable in public policy and social legislation. Published by Oxford University Press, this volume brings together leading economists and philosophers to investigate the reach and relevance of social and economic assessment. It provides a wide-ranging look at how community programs and social assessments can better reflect the true state of human existence beyond simple income measures.
