Initiatives
The Canadian Index of Wellbeing (CIW) is a new way of measuring wellbeing that goes beyond narrow economic measures like GDP. It will provide unique insights into the quality of life of Canadians – overall, and in specific areas that matter: our standard of living, our health, the quality of our environment, our education and skill levels, the way we use our time, the vitality of our communities, our participation in the democratic process, and the state of our arts, culture and recreation. In short, the CIW is the only national index that measures wellbeing in Canada across a wide spectrum of domains.

The State of the USA (SUSA) is a new non-profit institution that will provide a set of key indicators. SUSA’s mission is to unite all the actors of the society (nonprofits, the media, government decision makers, business leaders, scientists, educators and citizens) around the same goal to deepen their understanding of the country’s most pressing issues. SUSA will offer Americans a new tool to help them in assessing where the nation is moving forward.
