The charts & tables contained in chapter 11 of Social Indicators, 1976 are examined. The wide range of social behavior that they cover includes topics such as: educational & occupational mobility, voting in national elections, volunteer work, charitable giving, participation in community organizations, views on religion, & feelings of anomie. All of these have bearing on the well-being of citizens. But the significance of most of the indicators for public policy is debatable. The factual conclusions that can be drawn from the tables & charts are discussed & additional information from recent research on some of the topics is presented, particularly on educational & occupational mobility, voting & political behavior, & participation in community organizations. 3 Tables, 3 Charts. Modified HA.

This essay explores the roles of social justice and the "ethics of care" as animating forces for social change in light of the near universal ascendance of the principles of market-based economics and of their extension into nonmarket areas of social concern, particularly in the United States. The main argument is that linking the "ethics of care," social justice, and power makes possible the development of a democratic political and social agenda that can respectively aid in meeting the caregiver needs of the nation and contribute to the transformation of gender roles associated with care.

Doubts about the easy equation of economic growth & social progress in the 1960s led to renewed interest in social measurement & to the birth of the 'social indicators movement.' Social Indicators, 1976, (US Office of Management & Budget), a product of that interest, can be read as both a report on social conditions & trends in the US & as a progress report on social indicators research. The volume is best understood against the background of the social indicators movement & of the research it has stimulated. Several research traditions are joined together in the social indicators movement, but they share a concern for measurement, analysis, & the reporting to a general audience of aspects of social conditions. The tradition best reflected in Social Indicators, 1976 stresses monitoring, & reporting social change. Research in this tradition emphasizes conceptual & methodological development of measures, improvements in available data bases, development of social indicator models, & social reporting. In its data selection, treatment of data, organization, & commentary, Social Indicators, 1976, is an improvement over Social Indicators, 1973, though its analysis is notably insufficient. Most of the improvements which should be found in future editions depend upon continued progress in the development of social indicators. 3 Tables, 3 Charts. Modified HA.
