According to The emerging equity gap: Growth and stability in the new investor landscape, a new report from the McKinsey Global Institute, the role of equities in the global financial system will likely be reduced in the coming decade. The reason postulated is that emerging market households tend to spend their newly-earned household assets deposit accounts and fixed-income instruments, more than in equities. the authors predict that by the end of this decade, investors in developing economies will hold as much as 36 percent of global financial wealth, or between $114 trillion and $141 trillion. They say that global equities could decline from 28 percent of global financial assets in 2010 to 22 percent in 2020.

Read the article Rise and Fall of the GDP in the New York Times Magazine. The author Jon Gertner attended a presentation on the Canadian Index of Well-Being presented by Alex Michalos, a former chancellor at the University of Northern British Columbia.
The presentation on the Canadian Index of Well Being is available here. Michalos’ interesting approach discusses how the success of a country depends on collaborations with international organizations such as Stats Canada, OECD etc.
