The Future of Measuring National Performance 2030
The document discusses the limitations of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a measure of national performance by 2030, highlighting issues such as declining pension coverage, increasing inequality, and environmental degradation. It argues for the retirement of GDP in favor of alternative metrics that better reflect economic, environmental, and social factors. The document also includes a discussion on calculating a Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) as a more comprehensive measure of well-being.
