Beyond GDP - Wellbeing Economy, Happiness Index and the Post-Growth Debate

As the global economic landscape evolves, demographics shift, inequality expands, climate change gets worse, and technology continues to advance at breakneck speed, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is struggling to stay relevant. To keep up with the changes shaped by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, many argue that we need to find a new measure to assess the well-being of our economies and – more importantly – the people living in them. Dr. Fred Muhumuza and Anna Murphy examine past, present, and future role of GDP – and the new economic models/measures that could replace GDP.
