2024 B.C. Prosperity Index

Centre for the Study of Living Standards

No 2024-05, CSLS Research Reports from Centre for the Study of Living Standards

Abstract: The purpose of the BC Prosperity Index is to benchmark British Columbia’s performance compared to peer jurisdictions on business and economic performance, as well as social and environmental factors, that together help shape people’s quality of life. The Index incorporates a suite of 12 equally-weighted indicators that capture aspects of people’s personal and societal prosperity. B.C. ranks 11th for overall prosperity and thus lies in the middle of the 21 peer jurisdictions. This ranking is unchanged from the previous version of the Index produced in 2019. Across the three domains, B.C. scores average for Business Well-Being, below average for Economic Well-Being, and above average for Societal Well-Being.
