Historical Aspects and Development of Statistics in the Social Sphere

Summary/Abstract: The article consistently examines issues related to the development of one of the main branches of statistical science - statistics in the social sphere. The history of statistics is marked by the practical need to solve problems in society. In this way, statistics in the social sphere was also built as part of statistical methodology, theory and practice. The roots of statistics in the social sphere can be sought in antiquity, when the first attempts and studies of social problems were encountered. In the Roman Empire, population censuses were conducted in order to replenish the army with regular conscription. A regular demographic study was created, albeit with a narrow purpose. In the last decades of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century, the development of the theory of representative observations and the emergence of public opinion polling agencies became the basis for research in the social sphere.
