This document is one of 28 reports that provide the background for the Genuine Progress Indicators (GPI) System of Sustainable Well-being Accounts. It explains how we derived the indices that were earlier published in Sustainability Trends 2000: The Genuine Progress Statement for Alberta, 1961 to 1999. The research for this report was completed near the end of 2000.
In this report we explore the value of services from household and public infrastructure. Specifically we answer the following questions:
- What is the value of services from household infrastructure in Alberta?
- What is the value of the services from public infrastructure in Alberta?
- How have the values of the services from household and public infrastructure changed from 1961 to 1999?
- Is the growth in the net capital stock of the province sufficient to support the growing provincial labour force?
