Abstract

Zusammenfassung Indikatoren sollen der Steuerung von (sozialen) Prozessen dienen. Sie beschreiben jedoch die Realität in der Regel nur deskriptiv und unvermeidlich mit mehr oder weniger großen und systematischen Messfehlern behaftet. Insofern ist es im Allgemeinen alles andere als einfach mit Hilfe von Indikatoren zu steuern; insbesondere dann, wenn für Problembereiche (fehlerbehaftete) Zielwerte vorgegeben werden, für deren Erreichung die Indikatoren keine kausalen Pfade aufzeigen. Am Beispiel der Corona-Pandemie werden statistisch-methodische Probleme von (sozialen) Indikatoren aufgezeigt und auf ein zentrales Defizit der vorhandenen bzw. rasch entwickelten Pandemie-Indikatoren hingewiesen: fehlende Indikatoren für Instrumente der Risikokommunikation. Als eine positive Nebenwirkung der Pandemie wird die verbesserte „statistical literacy“ hervorgehoben und diskutiert.
