FOn October 15, 2026, the International Council for Small Business (ICSB) introduced Gross Domestic Humanity, or GDH, at the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea in Seoul. The new measure asks a question GDP alone cannot answer: is economic progress helping people flourish?
The forum, titled “A Nation Where Young People Have Hope: Beyond GDP, Toward GDH,” was co-hosted by the Hon. Baek Sun-hee, Member of the National Assembly, ICSB, and Policy Space for Inclusion and Innovation. Researchers, policymakers, and international participants, including delegations from China and Indonesia, took part.
