[...] l'Organisation de coopération et de développement économique (OCDE) a lancé un nouvel indice susceptible de remplacer celui du produit intérieur brut (PIB), qui ne mesure grosso modo «que» la croissance économique d'un pays. Son nom? L'IVM, pour indice Vivre mieux (IVM), qui, lui, entend mesurer le «bien-être» des gens et leurs conditions de vie. [...] Il comporte 11 sous-indices : le logement, les revenus, l'emploi, les liens sociaux, l'éducation, l'environnement, la gouvernance, la santé, la satisfaction générale, la sécurité ainsi que l'équilibre entre la famille et le travail.
