When economists estimate the well-being of a country, they often rely
on GDP figures, but such a measure doesn't necessarily reflect how satisfied
people are with their lives.

People have psychological and cultural needs as well as material ones.

"well-being index（指数）" that incorporates（合并）data on 200 separate
indicators, from employment statistics to family life.
Canada, Australia, and other developed countries also assess well-being
but still place top priority (优先) on GDP. China plans to introduce a new
"green GDP" that accounts（计算）for environmental damage. The US has
said it will no longer promote "productivity" indirectly（间接地）meaning
growth at any cost.
