In recent years, we have increasingly heard the term "well-being," which includes the connotation of something that contributes to people's well-being.

Until now, "wealth" has been evaluated based on the increase in gross domestic product (GDP), but since wellbeing, such as health, is not sufficiently taken into account in GDP, the "IWI (New Inclusive Wealth Index)," which measures inclusive wealth using three indicators: "artificial capital," "natural capital," and "human capital," is beginning to be used. Therefore, the "Inclusive Wealth Index (IWI)," which measures inclusive wealth using three indicators of "artificial capital," "natural capital," and "human capital," is beginning to be used.

This article describes the IWI, which is expected to be used as a measure of ESG progress, as well as the IWI used by local governments and companies.
