dc.description.abstractFor decades GDP has been the most influential economic metric in policymaking, but in recent decades, its fitness as a measure of well-being has been called into serious question. Numerous alternatives have emerged to complement or even substitute it, and several governments have begun incorporating broader well-being indicators into their national statistics. However, few have fully institutionalized these indicators into their policy cycle. This study explores the barriers and opportunities for using Beyond GDP indicators in policymaking through a case study of the Netherlands. An extensive document analysis, combined with a content analysis of five interviews with high-level experts, reveals various barriers to the adoption of a Beyond GDP agenda in the Netherlands. The most significant barriers involve the lack of a national broad well-being framework, the lack of sophisticated broad well-being modeling and forecasting, and a challenge in translating well-being indicators from the national to the regional level.en_US
