Indicators and Social Accounting for 21st Century Social Policy

Gosta Esping-Andersen

The way we measure social welfare has changed very little over the past
century. First, we still rely primarily on cross-sectional headcounts  --
snapshots of, say, the number poor, unemployed, or lone mothers in any
given year. These may signal the magnitude of a problem but for
policy-making they are of limited value. We need indicators that better
identify the mechanisms that trigger an entry into and exit out of poverty
or unemployment. We need information that tells us the reasons why some are
more persistently poor or unemployed than others. Hence, we need to capture
the dynamics that define life chances. .. SNIP
