Tracking how well people are doing beyond narrow economic indicators like GDP

from Think Again · host Jacques and Mike Salvaris

Jacques talks with Mike Salvaris, Director of the Australian National Development Index (ANDI). While our governments and political leaders focus on narrow economic indicators (like GDP) of 'progress' and  how well a country and its population are doing, various attempts have been made to capture more meaningful social, cultural and personal aspects of people's lives since the 1960s.Mike Salvaris talks about the development and application of ANDI as a measure of wellbeing and progress for everyday Australians and about the planned process of introducing a set of wellbeing indicators in West Australia.ANDI website: https://www.andi.org.au/
