Inquiry in to those questions requires more interrogations on the vision of a better s ociety, its underpinning values, indicators reflecting expected societal pr ogress, and their implications in the decision-making process. The shift fr om a growth-based paradigm to beyond-growth debates has enlarged society 217;s goals to multiple economic, social, and environmental aspects and int roduced more options for new economic narratives, such as green and inclusi ve growth. For decades, the sustainability paradigm and concerns of emergin g inequality contributed to alternative policy frameworks. Many European co untries have developed diverse societal progress measurement systems and ap proaches for those advanced societal goals. Some examples are the United Na tions’ Global SDG Indicators, whose global, regional and country data and m etadata on the official SDG indicators have accompanied the annual SDG repo rt, the Bertelsmann’s Social Justice Index (SJI), which are designed as a c ross-national comparative survey to explore the level of just society among countries in OECD and the EU. Since the popularity of the evidence-based a pproach, most societal progress measurement approaches have adopted the qua ntitative method, only a few focus on other assessment methods such as the qualitative assessment of community attitudes to progress and progress doma ins by the evaluation of Australia Progress in the 21st Century. This indic ates that societal progress measurement is not just an academic concern but also direct policy relevance and citizen engagement.\n\nNevertheless, many developing countries in Southeast Asia are deficient in publicly available databases and reliable statistical indicators. Collectiveness as a core va lue of the global development paradigm requires the development of comparab le indicators among Southeast Asian countries. Each Southeast Asian country ’s societal progress measurement system becomes fragmented and overlo oks the collective development goal at the regional and global levels.\n\nA s researchers and practitioners, tackling the issue of societal progress me asurement aiming at a policy framework based on sustainability and social j ustice is one of our challenges. How does each country develop and imply it s own progress measurement? Which approaches are applied theoretically and methodologically, and in which contexts? How do they fail or make a breakth rough? Apart from policymakers, how could the public use those societal pro gress measurements? What could we learn from each other? Contributions from multidisciplinary aspects with this theme are welcome.
