Achieving Growth through Social Innovation: A Beyond GDP Trial

Abstract:

Beyond GDP approach emphasizes that GDP alone is not comprehensive enough to capture the factors that contribute to the growth in the society. The study aims to identify the casual relationship between Beyond GDP and social innovation by analyzing the ecosystem of social innovation and provides a potential set of indicators for social innovation. The study integrates gender as one of the challenges that the potential beneficiaries of social innovation face and introduces social innovation enablers as a supplementary set of indicators that promote and sustain social innovation.
