Summary

The Global Societal Accounts (GSA) answer some fundamental questions about society: How many are we? Who are we? How are we organised? What do we do? Stock/flow accounting can be used to create demographic accounts using characteristics such as age, education and skills. A network perspective can be used to connect concepts such as social capital and institutions. The final accounts of the GSA are the time use of all individuals in society.
