Economic Indicators Based on the Adl Measurement Model: A Framework Based on Effective Labor Time

This paper introduces a set of economic indicators based on the Adl measurement model, a conceptual framework that evaluates economic value independently of monetary systems. The model defines a minimum human labor threshold of 4 effective working hours per day as a baseline for basic welfare. The proposed indicators focus on effective labor time as the primary unit of measurement, enabling: · quantitative assessment of economic conditions based on human effort, · comparison between regions or communities without reliance on currency or market prices, · differentiation of outcomes above the minimum welfare threshold according to skill, activity, and productivity. The indicators include both individual and aggregate measures, providing insights into productivity, real value, labor-based inflation, currency strength, and resource dependency. The framework ensures equality at minimum levels and reflects equitable differentiation of benefits above the baseline, offering a systematic, neutral, and human-centered tool for economic analysis. The philosophical questions related to justice and equity remain open for future investigation.
