Interpreting OECD Social Indicators
Society at a Glance 2011 provides a broad picture of social outcomes and social responses across the OECD. It informs responses to two questions:
- Compared with their own past and with other OECD countries, what progress have countries made in their social development?
- How effective have been the actions of societies in furthering social development?
Assessing societal progress requires indicators covering a range of social outcomes across countries and time, for example in material well-being, education and health, as well in terms of social interactions.
