Social Indicators: Selected Readings

Abstract

This bibliography is intended to be a working list of sources representative of the new field of social indicators and social accounting. It includes both a sampling of works that outline theoretical developments in the field and some illustrative attempts to develop social indicators and reports. For the sake of brevity, only collections of papers have been provided with annotations which indicate the titles and authors of articles contained therein. A review of this bibliography will illustrate the interdisciplinary nature of the social accounting movement. Because social accounting originated so recently and is developing so rapidly, the majority of the references bear dates of 1965 or later. Inasmuch as this bibliography is a selection of readings, it obviously makes no claim to inclusive-ness.
