Measuring Australia's Progress
![Page 6: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is Progress?
• The word progress (Latin: pro-gredi) refers to improvements, to move forward, to gain
• We can speak about economic progress, social progress, scientific progress but above all we can talk about human progress
![Page 7: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What is Progress?
• Many views …
“Is life getting better?”
![Page 8: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is Progress?
• Many views …• But what is clear to me is
A. Progress is multidimensionalB. Progress means different things
to different people

Resource Demand
![Page 13: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Human system and Ecosystem, and the interaction between them (Resource demand)
• Resource demand - human pressure on the ecosystem (eg pollution, and resource use)
• Separates inputs (pressures) from outcomes (changes in condition) to measure the effects of human activities on the state of the ecosystem
Resource Demand

Human System: Human Well-being
![Page 15: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Human System: Human Well-being
• Measures ends or outcomes, including health, knowledge and understanding, freedom and security, relationships, work and play, and subjective well-being
• The other domains of the Human System represent the supports for human well-being and measure means or outputs - Economy, Governance, and Culture
![Page 16: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Human System: Culture
![Page 17: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Human System: Culture
• Covers those elements that contribute to human wellbeing that cannot be included in Economy or Governance without distortion
• It comprises the creative, expressive, and symbolic aspects of a way of life, including art, crafts, food, games, gardens, literature, language, music and religion
![Page 18: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Human System: Economy and Governance
![Page 19: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Human System: Economy and Governance
• Economy: the stocks and flows of an economy (income and wealth)
• Governance: democratic participation, access to services, order and safety, political rights, responsiveness, and transparency
![Page 20: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Ecosystem: Ecosystem Condition
![Page 21: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Ecosystem: Ecosystem Condition
• Ecosystem condition is the only domain for the Ecosystem
• It measures the ecosystem’s ends and outcomes, including air quality, atmosphere, land, freshwater, oceans and seas, and biodiversity

• No bottom-line measure of progress
• No assessment of government policy
• No (direct) assessment of 'sustainability'
What MAP doesn't provide
![Page 24: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Sets of Indicators
• Measures should be “unambiguous" that is have a clear good/bad direction of movement
• Important to focus on the big picture• Important to discuss trade-offs and
reinforcements
![Page 25: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

academics, scientists etc)
• Public seminars
• Extensive peer reviews

• Chose a concept – Progress – and an audience (the “public”)
• Selected key dimensions of progress and why they were important
• Selected the best headline indicators (and supplementary indicators)
• Consultation at every stage
The Process: January 2000 to September
2001
![Page 30: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Prepared, peer reviewed, and released the first publication
The Process: October 2001 to April 2002
![Page 31: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Collaboration
• Civil society, academics etc provided very valuable advice and assistance
• They also promoted and supported the venture
• But …. need to be careful about perceptions around roles …. and that an adequately broad spectrum of views come to the table
![Page 32: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Why Collaborate?
• Discussions about measuring progress leads to discussions – and understanding - about ‘what progress actually is’
• Civil Society gets… facts to inform debate and advance particular causes, and a chance to influence policy
• Government gets … a wider perspective, skills and resources, support and buy in
![Page 33: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Lessons in Collaboration
• Choose collaborators carefully
• Judge the pace of collaboration well
• Listen to one another and deliver
![Page 34: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Outcomes
• Increased relevance for ABS• Strong support from users• MAP won an award for Australia’s
Smartest Social Initiative• Lots of media coverage• Reassessment of Statistical Work
Programme• Frequently referenced in Parliament
and debate
![Page 35: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Outcomes
• Improved dialogue between the users and producers of statistics
• Engagement of influential community leaders
• Some errors in ABS data were spotted
• ABS leadership encouraged other countries to follow eg, Ireland
![Page 36: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Outcomes
• The first issue was strongly criticised by a think tank
• Uncomfortable for some in the ABS• But many came to the ABS’s defense
If the ABS doesn’t do thisthen who will
![Page 37: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What Next…?
• MAP now accepted. ABS not worried about measuring progress
• There could be a stronger push to use MAP’s framework as a lens to consider policy
• But difficult for an NSO
![Page 38: Measures of Australia’s Progress (MAP) Jon Hall Australian Bureau of Statistics Global Project, OECD.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c735503460f94924da0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Shokran!
