Over the last year Wikiprogress has been monitoring the media coverage of the ‘measuring progress’ movement. Each month, news articles and blogs reporting on: dimensions of progress, new indexes, the limitations of GDP etc. are gathered in the Wikiprogress community portal. Last month there was an incredible amount of media coverage and we thought we’d share a few of the highlights with you:
- Economy 4.0 - How the oil spill pushes up GDP
- India slips 10 spots to 88th on the Global Prosperity Rank
- Hans Gutbrod talks on Well Being and Happiness at TEDxYerevan
- A study shows how media in peaceful countries ‘over reports’ on violence
- A discussion with John Helliwell – happiness is more than GDP
- UAE is the 30th most prosperous country in the world
- Will our kids be able to compete in the global market ?
The community portal is home to more than just media coverage. Have a look at a few new sections that were added last month:
- Call for papers – conference organisers around the world are calling for papers from statisticians, economists, academics, researchers...
- Publications released this month – gathering key publications as they are released.
If you come across a news article or anything you feel is community portal worthy, please add it by editing the Community Portal- remember you must be signed in to edit and if you add an external link you must answer a simple maths question after saving.
Lets see if we can make November better than October !
