This report contains the conference papers on issues in Federal statistical needs relating to women. These papers have been revised to reflect the author's responses to comments and discussion by participants of the conference. In addition, the report contains responses from Federal statistical agencies to recommendations and issues raised at the conference.
This conference, the first of its type, was designed to examine the data needs and concepts relating to the status of women in order to ensure that reliable and useful information are produced. Subjects covered include the changing roles of women and statistical policy, income, occupation, discrimination, household structure, education, health, and public policy on statistical issues.
Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
