A narrow focus on the gross domestic product as a measure of well-being is misleading, but economic growth is still important to achieve prosperity and sustainability
In the past, too much emphasis has sometimes been placed on gross domestic product (GDP) as a measure of well-being. Other indicators – such as health, education, CO2 emissions or the sustainable use of natural resources are equally important and should complement GDP. However, a complete departure from GDP or an end to economic growth would not be good ideas. Economic growth is an important determinant of prosperity and sustainability.
