**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the development of a social indicators framework, which involves the collection of data on various aspects of society, such as demographic, income, health, education, and cost-benefit indicators. This framework is likely being developed for the Asian and Pacific region, which suggests that the focus is on socio-economic development rather than purely economic or environmental issues.
