Abstract: An overview of the social indicator (SI) and cultural indicator (CI) movements since the mid-1970s is provided, as well as an evaluation of concepts, methods and results emanating from these movements. Organizational and conceptual models/frameworks used for the selection and compilation of social and cultural indicators are also dealt with. The ability of current SIs and CIs (1) to meet requirements for describing policy goal fulfilment are discussed, and (2) conceptual and measurement issues, theory building and system/policy modelling in cross-national studies and research on societal matters are reflected upon. Regarding point (1): the numerous statistical yearbooks seem to have no apparent bearing on cultural goal fulfilment. Regarding point (2): very little “groundwork” on theory building, etc., has been done to date for developing cultural indicators. Indicators on culture and communication are proposed, based on the UNESCO Framework for Cultural Statistics (FCS). One starting point is the UNESCO World Decade for Cultural Development policy objective of “broadening participation in cultural activities”. Some 70 indicators are suggested, allocated within an input-throughput-output matrix. Presumptive data sources for the derivation of the system of indicators are specified (in short-term/long-term perspective). For the harmonization of concepts, definitions and calculation of indicators, “task forces” should be established for setting up networks among European countries (organizations/agencies).
