Society at a Glance: OECD Social Indicators 2005 Edition (Complete Edition
- ISBN 9264007121)

Abstract
Social problems are both diverse and interlinked. For example, tackling
social exclusion involves simultaneously addressing barriers to labour
market integration, health care issues and education. Coping with an ageing
society requires new approaches to health care and employment, as well as
to pensions. Social indicators have been developed to provide the broad
perspective needed for any international comparison and assessment of
social trends, outcomes and policies. By linking social status and social
response indicators across a broad range of policy areas, social indicators
help readers to identify whether and how the broad thrust of social
policies and societal actions are addressing key social policy issues.
Social indicators provide a concise overview of social trends and policies
while paying due attention to the different national conditions in which
such policies are being pursued. The social indicators in Society at a
Glance may be represented along a two-dimensional classification. The first
dimension corresponds to three main goals of social policy, i.e.
self-sufficiency, equity and social cohesion. The second dimension
corresponds to the nature of the indicators, i.e. social context, social
status, and societal responses. This edition includes a wide range of
information on social policy areas, including demography, family
characteristics, employment, working mothers, out-of-work replacement
rates, pension replacement rates, poverty, social expenditure, health care
expenditure, subjective well-being and suicides.
