Abstract
This paper was prepared for the 28th session of the UN Statistical Commission, held in February 1995. Its aim was to spark discussion of how the international statistical community should respond to the challenges for better social statistics which are implicit in the Declaration of the World Summit on Social Development, held in March 1995.
