The Uses and Abuses of Social Statistics
The 1981 Census will be held next month. How does this census compare with those of previous decades and how do
British social statistics compare with those of other countries? Are there dangers when social statistics are counted and collected?
Muriel Nissel , herself a leading social statistician, discusses these and similar issues with the Director of the Central Statistical Office, the Registrar General and a number of distinguished social historians and analysts from Britain and abroad.
