• ANDI index measuring well-being
• Measuring Australia 's progress and well-being
• GDP is not a good measure of a society 's progress
• measuring well-being has to encompass assets and environment for future generations and human/social capital
• in summary: does life = shopping?
• the issue: mismeasuring human progress by economic growth alone
• progress is an increase in equitable and sustainable well-being
• measuring progress and well-being in a society is a democratic issue: WHO measures it and WHAT is being measured?
• ANDI is modelled off the Canadian index of Well-being
• the point of this is not to build a good index, the idea is to integrate it with government and community - so it can be used in budgeting and policy making
