- W60531176 abstract "We have long sought to employ social indicators to measure the condition of society and of subpopulations of interest (Hauser et al., 1997; Miringoff, 1993; Miringoff et al., 1999). In recent years, however, developing and using social indicators in ways that substantively shape public policies has emerged as a seminal interest and challenge. Motivating this interest are several concurrent reform movements that, in turn, are reshaping the way human services are organized and delivered in the United States. These movements are called by various names—policy devolution, government reinvention, welfare transformation, and systems integration. Individually, and as an interrelated whole, these powerful themes are redefining the way we think about the provision of social assistance and about public accountability for disadvantaged and vulnerable populations. Much attention has been directed toward the devolution and the reinvention movements in government. With respect to the other two movements, the transformation of welfare and service integration, less has been written that, in my opinion, fully captures underlying dynamics and challenges. This chapter pushes our thinking in the following directions. First, it explores some of the ways in which these themes relate to one another. For example, how do the devolution and welfare reform movements refresh our interest in experimentation with integrated human service models around the country? Second, it explores how some of the policy and management consequences of these themes translate into a renewed interest in using social indicators. For example, can we realistically pursue a strategy for replacing the array of extant categorical programs (or service silos) with more integrated models where case plans are holistic and individualized to family needs if we do not possess advanced capabilities for monitoring the well-being of populations of interest? Finally, this chapter explores the fine and ever-shifting line between informing society about social conditions and influencing current policy discussions. It argues that the cause of advancing the social indicator agenda does not operate in a vacuum, but rather is inextricably linked to and shaped by the broader policy context in which it is located. To avoid an overly abstract or detached discourse, the chapter focuses" @default.
