Features: Economic development and social progress are ideals we long for. However, how do we understand this development and progress? What criteria do we use to measure it? What achievements and advancements have China and the world made today? To address these questions, sociology has constructed an indicator system through extensive empirical research. With this system in place, we undoubtedly have a set of tools to measure the development of China's economy and the progress of its society. For anyone concerned with China's fate, whether they are ordinary Chinese citizens or policymakers and implementers of socio-economic policies, mastering this system is essential and holds both theoretical and practical significance.
