Kurzinfo:	Verlagsinfo: Diese OECD-Publikation untesucht Variablen des "Better-Life-Index" der OECD aus einer historischen Perspektive und geht dafür bis ins Jahr 1820 zurück. Dabei vergleicht sie, wie sich die Lebensqualität seit dem 19.Jahrhundert in den verschiedenen Ländern entwickelt hat. Die Themen reichen dabei von Trends in Einkommen, Bildung und Lebenserwartung über Entwicklungen in der menschlichen Körpergröße und persönlicher Sicherheit bis hin zu Veränderungen in der Umwelt und der Ungleichheit zwischen den Geschlechtern. Das Buch entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Internationalen Institut für Sozialgeschichte. How was life in 1820, and how has it improved since then? What are the long-term trends in global well-being? Views on social progress since the Industrial Revolution are largely based on historical national accounting in the tradition of Kuznets and Maddison. But trends in real GDP per capita may not fully reflect changes in other dimensions of well-being such as life expectancy, education, personal security or gender inequality. Looking at these indicators usually reveals a more equal world than the picture given by incomes alone, but has this always been the case? The new report How Was Life? aims to fill this gap. It presents the first systematic evidence on long-term trends in global well-being since 1820 for 25 major countries and 8 regions in the world covering more than 80% of the world′s population. It not only shows the data but also discusses the underlying sources and their limitations, pays attention to country averages and inequality, and pinpoints avenues for further research. The How Was Life? report is the product of collaboration between the OECD, the OECD Development Centre and the CLIO-INFRA project. It represents the culmination of work by a group of economic historians to systematically chart long-term changes in the dimensions of global well-being and inequality, making use of the most recent research carried out within the discipline. The historical evidence reviewed in the report is organised around 10 different dimensions of well-being that mirror those used by the OECD in its well-being report How′s Life? (www.oecd.org/howslife), and draw on the best sources and expertise currently available for historical perspectives in this field. These dimensions are:per capita GDP, real wages, educational attainment, life expectancy, height, personal security, political institutions, environmental quality, income inequality and gender inequality.
