Recommendation

Nations should be gauging their citizens’ well-being – and not just via subjective metrics, such as the averages reported in the United Nations World Happiness Report. This report from professionals at the Boston Consulting Group makes a solid case for its proprietary Sustainable Economic Development Assessment, a tool for objectively evaluating national well-being that economists and analysts will find useful.

Take-Aways

  • Every nation’s economic performance rating should consider unbiased measures of citizens’ well-being.
  • A nation’s GDP, objective performance and subjective well-being are not always aligned.
  • Look to top-performing countries for best practices and policies.

    Are Boston Consulting Group a reliable source of information, considering their "alleged" involvement with various financial scandals?
