Foreword

The Construction of Life Phases and Some Facts of Life

Gnther Schlee

In all sorts of statistics, including demographic ones, social constructs and givens that resist being constructed and deconstructed interpenetrate. Hard-core constructivists would always claim that statistics do not reflect numbers but create them. In fact both processes are at work. Statistics make us observe things we would not otherwise have observed or, at least, we would not have counted and calculated them as averages, such as pets per household or per capita beer consumption. But statistical calculations of such frequencies for these units might appear artificial to many. When it comes to pets, we normally do not add canaries to dogs. Nor do we think about the many households without any pets; and we may forget to ask how household splitting the tendency of more and more people to live alone or in twos rather than in larger units influences the average number of pets per household. When we think of beer consumption, we do not have old ladies and little babies in mind, who are included in nationwide statistics, but the prototypical beer drinker, the (more or less) adult male. How much less beer we drink if we include all the babies who drink no beer at all in calculating our average consumption! Such thoughts rarely occur to us, unless we are already familiar with statistics.

So, the units we include in our count are a matter of choice and plausibility, and many of these units are not simply there but have to be agreed on. To give just one more example: There are no lower-income families unless we have a definition of the family and a way of deciding which kind of income to call low; and, even if we do, such categories may misdirect our perceptions. Would members of a rural family with a low monetary income but a large vegetable garden and lots of rabbits (not as pets but for food) agree that they are poor, as such a categorization implies?

I am fully aware that statistics about household pets, preferably broken down by species and other categories, can be of great interest to pet shops and animal-feed producers and that the marketing branches of big breweries have good use for figures on per capita beer consumption in nation-to-nation comparison. Also statistics about poverty are important, even if they can be misleading. I merely want to point out that these examples reflect a way of looking at things that is unfamiliar to those without an earlier exposure to statistics. The categories that are used here are constructs. They are products of a whole series of choices made about definitions.
