Description

This book examines the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) as a comprehensive alternative to GDP for measuring national development and population wellbeing. The GPI aggregates over 20 economic, social and environmental indicators, capturing both the welfare benefits of economic growth and the social and environmental costs that accompany it. By analysing Hong Kong and Singapore from 1968 to 2010, the author demonstrates how GPI provides superior insight into actual living standards and societal progress beyond traditional economic metrics. Part of the Routledge Studies in Sustainable Development series, this work addresses growing dissatisfaction with GDP as an adequate measure of national success, offering policymakers and researchers a more nuanced framework for evaluating whether economic expansion truly translates into improved population wellbeing and sustainable development outcomes.

Key Features

Measures Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) across Hong Kong and Singapore spanning 1968 to 2010 with detailed historical analysis.

Integrates over 20 economic, social and environmental indicators into a single comprehensive welfare measurement framework.

Published by Routledge as part of the Studies in Sustainable Development series, providing academic rigour and peer-reviewed expertise.

Addresses limitations of GDP by accounting for both benefits and costs of economic growth to reveal true population wellbeing.
