Sydney Ideas - Mental wealth forecast

Mental wealth is an emerging concept that takes stock of the value of our collective brain capital and social assets. It reminds us that prosperity isn’t only based on economic production but social production as well.

Many global indicators of growth and productivity, such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), measure the economic (income and financial gains) and miss capturing social value and work (unpaid labour such as elder care, childcare, volunteer work and civic participation). 

Join us for this Sydney Ideas event that showcases innovative research and findings from the Mental Wealth Initiative, a transdisciplinary initiative within the University’s Brain and Mind Centre, led by co-directors and leading researchers Professor John Buchanan and Associate Professor Jo-An Occhipinti.
