No 2019-07, CSLS Research Reports from Centre for the Study of Living Standards

Abstract: The Business Council of British Columbia (BCBC) is committed to developing a “B.C. Prosperity Index” for release in 2019. The twin objectives of the index are to track the province’s performance on various socio- economic indicators, both individually and in the aggregate, related to prosperity, defined in terms of living standards and economic well-being, over time and to compare the level and growth rates of these indicators with other sub-national and national jurisdictions. The purpose of this report is to present the estimates of the Prosperity Index for British Columbia with comparisons with three types of other jurisdictions (i.e. peer countries, Canadian provinces and Pacific U.S. states).
