Abstract | International social indicators, focusing on assessment of the quality of life, measurement of social changes, and program evaluation, are the subject of this paper. Beginning with a look at various national reports which are currently being produced, it is felt that these documents and the data gathering activities upon which they are based form the bulk of much of what is known about international social indicators. The same national reports, furthermore, confront many of the methodological and substantive issues which must be faced in cross-national projects with social data. The major activities involved in using international social indicators are comparison of conditions in various countries, cross-national programs of data collection, and multinational programs of data collection. The major portion of the paper presents an outline of some major international projects and a discussion of some on-going data collection activities which will provide important new information to the field of international social indicators. Discussion focuses on potentially comparative studies, juxtaposition of national data and cross-national data collection. Tables illustrate social changes in Japan and a typology of international social indicators. (Author/KSM) |
