Description

New framework to secure well-being of all generations

Relying solely on economic growth to achieve sustainable well-being poses significant challenges. The growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is slowing down, while its environmental and social costs are on the rise. This trade-off puts the well-being of current and future generations at risk. With this in mind, the EU-funded WISER project will develop an evidenced-based economic development framework that prioritises the well-being of all generations. The project aims to foster GDP and productivity growth, while ensuring inclusive well-being. It employs multidisciplinary approaches, drawing from case studies in Africa and other regions. WISER analyses the relationships that reconcile economic growth with sustainable, high well-being, taking into account gender perspectives and the needs of disadvantaged groups.
