摘要:
SUMMARYThis paper reanalyses data from four nationally representative sample surveys, conducted in 1949, 1972, 1983 and 1987, to explore trends in class inequalities in education. Log‐linear models are used to test whether the relationship between father's class and respondent's education varies significantly by birth cohort. The conclusion is that the various educational reforms that have been attempted over the past 50 years in Britain have had little impact on class inequalities in education.

摘要:
SUMMARYThe role of childhood and adolescent health and development has been assessed as a potential explanation for later social class inequalities in health using longitudinal data from the 1958 cohort study. In early adulthood, general health (as self‐rated by respondents) and emotional health (as measured by the malaise inventory) were generally poorer in lower social classes. Adjustment for a wide range of childhood health characteristics did not reduce class differences in health evident in early adulthood and were therefore considered to be relatively unimportant influences. Some reduction in the class differences did occur, however, when allowance was made for ill‐health in adolescence. For example, odds of ‘poor’ or ‘fair’ rating of health at age 23 years in classes IV and V relative to classes I and II decreased from 2.52 to 2.26 in men and 3.39 to 3.08 in women after adjusting for school absence through ill‐health at age 16. Adolescent health may contribute to class inequalities in health but preliminary consideration of other potential influences (socioeconomic circumstances and health‐related behaviour) suggests that other factors may be relatively more important.

摘要:
SUMMARYThis paper examines three methods for estimating the relative risk of a driver fatal accident as a function of the driver's blood alcohol level: nonparametric estimation using accident and control (or exposure) data; parametric estimation using accident data either alone or with a very small sample of control data; generalized linear models using accident and control data. The second method was investigated because in Australia control data are scarce in precisely those states where good accident data are available. If successful, such an approach would have allowed estimation of risk for cohorts for which extensive control data are unavailable. As shown the approach is full of difficulties. The third method is particularly easy to use and allows socially relevant hypotheses, such as age and sex differences in relative risk, to be tested. The methods are applied to accident data from New South Wales and control data from South Australia.

摘要:
SUMMARYPerformance indicators have become ubiquitous in the public sector. In this paper, recent developments are assessed in relation to work in the private sector, where public reporting of activity has a much longer history. It is shown that lines of accountability are far more complex in the public sector. A history of initiatives to 1989 in the UK is followed by a brief survey of the analytic techniques available to interpret performance indicators. The paper ends with an attempt to trace the purposes underlying the various initiatives described and warns of the possible inefficiencies that they might induce.

摘要:
SUMMARYMany of Lenin's arguments were based on statistical analysis, and in the Soviet milieu he is widely praised as a statistician. In this paper we first examine the background and influences of Lenin's statistics and also consider his statistical arguments, some of which are often cited in the Soviet literature. Our general conclusions are that (a) in his earlier work Lenin exhibited innate craftmanship in analysing large‐scale statistical data, (b) his statistics owes much to V. E. Postnikov, P. N. Skvortsov and F. A. Shcherbina whose influence has been downplayed, (c) Lenin was not beyond turning his analysis to political ends, (d) his influence among established statisticians in the Russian Empire, including thezemstvostatisticians, was quite modest and (e) he was instrumental in establishing official statistical organs in the USSR.
