"Today, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on GDP and beyond – measuring progress in a changing world.
Gross domestic product is a widely used index for measuring social development and economic progress. However, its universality raises doubts as to whether it fails to take into account a series of indicators which are crucial for quality of life in a given country. There are also some significant parameters which are interpreted incorrectly. The Commission has suggested that it is essential to develop an indicator which clearly depicts the situation in the country in question, and which also reflects the situation of households and individuals, as well as how efficiently the country’s resources are exploited and the state of the environment. The Commission expects greater involvement from the Member States in terms of systematising research into the quality of public life, which would make it possible for clear comparisons to be made between countries. A coherent policy would result in it being easier to analyse research, and also in it being possible to predict the potential long-term development of countries."@en1
