Social Measurement and Social Indicators

Issues of Policy and Theory

Beschreibung

First published in 1981, this title is not a 'how-to' guide on the construction of social indicators, but rather a critical and optimistic view of central issues, as embodied in the literature and in practice at the time. It contrasts some basic problems of social measurement with government's needs for reliable information.
