Abstract

Thinking about future needs and about what can reasonably be expected as feasible in the next century, how should producers of statistics direct their activity? Increasing complexity and diversity of needs leads us to recognize that, between producers and users of statistics, a mediating role is more and more often played by analysts and research workers who are requesting above all good data bases. Concerning infrastructures for statistics on productive systems, coordination between accountants and statisticians will be crucial, as well as adaptation of the constraints which, because of excessive worry about confidentiality, could prevent establishment or use of data bases. In an increasingly competitive world, where private firms will sell analyses and informations, particularly on very large enterprises, the public statistical service will remain essential in all respects. Intangible investments, innovations and many aspects of the internal organization of firms will create formidable challenges. Information on employment and labour markets has been much developed during the past decades; but on a few specific and difficult issues progress is still needed: lifecyles in the working‐age population, acquisition of knowledge and skills in formal education and on the job, matching labour supplies and demands, and so on. Particular attention will have to be given to the lower levels of cultural and professional skills. Dans la perspective des besoins futurs et des possibilités qui peuvent étre raisonnabnlement envisagées au siécle prochain, comment les producteurs de statistiques de statistiques devrajent‐ils orienter leurs opérations? La complexité et la diversité croissantes des besoins conduisent à reconnaitre que, entre producteurs et utilisateurs, des analystes ou chercheurs jouent de plus en plus Le role d'intermédiaires, Pour lesquels doivent surtout exister de bonnes bases de données. s'agissant d'infrastructures pour les statistiques sur les systémes productifs, la coordination entre comptables et statisticiens sera cruciale, de méme que l'adaptation des contraintes qui, dans un souci excessif de confidentialité, pourraient entraver la constitution ou I'exploitation des bases des analyses et de I'information, notamment sur les très grandes entreprises, le service public de la statistique restera indispensable à tous égards. Investisssements immatériels, innovations et de multiples aspects del'organisation interne des entreprises poseront de redoutables défis. l'information sur I'emploi et les marchés du travail a beaucoup progressé pendant les derniècennies; mais à la marge, certaines questions resteront difficiles: cycles de vie des personnes en age de travailler; acquisition des connaissances et aptitudes dans le système éducatif et l'activité professionnelle, appuisition des connaissances et aptitudes dans le système éducatif et I'activité professionnelle, appariement entre offres et demandes de travail, etc… Une grande attention devra ê portée aux niveaux inveaux inférieurs des qualifications scolaires et professionnelles.
