The social indicators in this book provide a concise overview of social trends and policies while paying due attention to the different national contexts in which such policies are being pursued. OECD social indicators include both context indicators, which illustrate national differences in social trends and social status and response indicators, categorized in four broad and interdependent areas of social policy: self-sufficiency, equity, health and social cohesion. This new edition focuses on disability and child well-being indicators in addition to a wide range of information on other areas, including aging populations, foreign-born population, employment, working mothers, replacement rates, child poverty, public social expenditure, potential years of life lost, health care expenditure, strikes, suicides and prisoners.
