6 MAP Started 7 years ago Now annual on website Objective rather than subjective indicators Provides statistics/ leaves judgement to others Currently being refreshed Can be expanded on capital measures/ sustainability side

7 Household data There is rich microdata for household income, consumption and wealth Need to continue development of comprehensive framework – much work done, but decisions need to be made Throws light on distribution/ inequalities Rich and dense microdata – hard to fit with aggregate measures e.g. SNA

8 The Report 14 recommendations over 3 key themes:  Income, consumption, wealth measurement improvements (material well-being)  Construction of objective and subjective indicators of well-being  Sustainability and environment measurement improvements

9 NSO response As above, already much being done Continue to develop SNA, MAP, household data Ways ahead Integration of household microdata with broader measures Capital approach to sustainability Time use as indicator Proceed carefully/ measure the measureable

10 NSO response Expand set of indicators while maintaining credibility Avoid e.g happiness Avoid single, GDP type measures for non- monetary measures Provide statistics – leave judgements to others
