OECD and Progress - Beyond GDP - Presentation Transcript

  1. OECD and Progress
    Beyond GDP
  2. GDP is an important economic indicator that measures output.
  3. But it doesn’t give a full picture of social progress and well-being
    But it is not sufficient to measure
  4. If GDP per capita rises, itmeanswe’re all gettingricher, right?
  5. Wrong. GDP per capita isjust GDP divided by the size of the population. It doesn’t tell us what people are actuallyearning or if that’srising.
  6. Equally, GDP leaves out
    somegoodthings …
  7. Raisingchildren, cooking dinner or tidying up may or may not be counted in GDP depending on whether they’re done in the home, by the state or by a firm.
  8. GDP includes how muchwe’respending on thingslikeeducation,
    the police and health…
  9. But itisn’tdesigned to measure the outcomesof all thatspending – are ourkids gettingsmarter, ourstreetssafer, ourhospitals more effective?
  10. Badthingscanbegoodfor GDP:
    Natural disasterskill and maim millions …
  11. But all thatcleaning up afterwardsmeans
    extra economicactivity, whichisgood for GDP.
  12. GDP is a good economicmeasure …
  13. … but not so good for measuringprogess, well-beingor happiness.
  14. Relying on GDP alonewouldbelikedriving a car onlylookingat the speedometer…
  15. Relying on GDP alonewouldbelikedriving a car onlylookingat the speedometer…
    But otherindicators are necesary to assess the success of a policy.
  16. OECD work onmeasuringprogress
    OECD  has taken part in the Stiglitz-Sen-FitoussiCommission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress
  17. OECD producesmany comparable indicatorsthatcan help assessingprogress.
  18. GDP per capita
    Takeinequality.
    This map shows GDP per capita for countries in Western Europe.
  19. GDP per capita
    Takeinequality.
    This map shows GDP per capita for countries in Western Europe.
    But whenwe break down those countries by region ….
  20. Other patterns emerge:
    Differenceswithin countries canbe
    biggerthanthosebetweencountries

    thingslikehowwellstudents are doing, and whetherthey’rebeingheld back by poverty.

  37. Environmentdashboard
    OECD statistics examine not onlyenvironmental capital –clean water, forests, animal species and so on …
    but also the factorsthat are threateningthem – greenhousegasemissions, pollution, urbanisation.
  38. For instance, OECD and itssisteragency IEA measure CO2emissions

  39. But alsoresources, such as threatenedspecies

  40. Clearly, wecan’tassesspeople’squality of life just by lookingatwhatthe economyisproducing (whichiswhat GDP measures).
  41. Weneed to consider a muchwider range of indicators, someobjective (how long are people living?) and somesubjective(do youfeel happy?)
  42. Measuringleisure time is an example of an objective measure of well-being…
