Abstract:

This overview suggests areas in which models and measures of change are most promising and describes how the organization of the national statistical system affects the way one understands social trends in the U.S. Continuation of old measurement programs, the replication of previous studies, and the accumulation of existing measures of social conditions are recommended.
