SUMMARY:Embedding Human Rights in Metrics of Progress
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The international community has long acknowledged that Gross Do
 mestic Product (GDP)\, the main measure of economic progress\, ignores hum
 an rights and inequality. It fails to account for exploitative practices\,
  unpaid care work\, environmental damage\, or whether growth benefits are 
 fairly shared and lead to better health\, education\, social protection\, 
 or decent jobs.Momentum to move beyond GDP as the leading measure of progr
 ess has accelerated in recent years\, following the Pact for the Future’
 s mandate to establish a high-level expert group (HLEG) and an intergovern
 mental process tasked with agreeing on a set of measures of progress on su
 stainable development that complement and go beyond GDP.Against this backd
 rop\, UN Human Rights recently hosted the Expert Roundtable on Beyond GDP 
 and Human Rights in Geneva\, Switzerland\, bringing together Member States
 \, prominent academics\, civil society\, statisticians\, economists and me
 mbers of the High-Level Expert Group appointed by the Secretary-General\, 
 to explore how human rights indicators can shape metrics beyond GDP.The ro
 undtable took place amid growing interest in the human rights economy\, an
  approach that places human rights at the centre of economic policies and 
 practices\, eliminating discrimination\, empowering marginalized groups\, 
 and reducing inequalities.  &lt\;p&gt\;The international community has l
