Changing paradigms in measuring national well-being: How does Korea rank "beyond GDP"?

초록

Academics, politicians, and citizens around the world are calling for multidimensional measures of national well-being to be included in public policy-making. Under the motto "The Future of Well-Being," the 6th OECD World Forum recently pushed forward this debate in Incheon, Korea.

Multidimensional measures of well-being are increasingly being adopted by policy-makers around the world to improve people's lives.
