建立可靠和权威的民族、宗教和语言群体数据，在打击歧视和促进个人人权和少数群体权利的努力中发挥着突出作用。但是种族或宗教团体是如何定义的呢？谁属于它？我们如何测量它的特性？统计学家、人口学家和整个社会科学界对这些问题没有达成共识。这篇文章以欧洲的丰富经验为基础，包括过去的多民族帝国。它确定了种族、宗教和语言群体的不同概念和定义、不同数据来源和测量问题的背景。结论提出了一套改进数据收集的规则和准则，特别是在人口普查和抽样调查方面，以及数据分析方面。
The establishment of reliable and authoritative figures on ethnic, religious and language groups plays a prominent role in efforts to fight discrimination and foster individual human rights as well as minority rights. But how is an ethnic or religious group defined? Who belongs to it? How can we measure its characteristics? There is no consensus concerning these questions among statisticians, demographers and the social sciences at large. The article builds on the rich experience of Europe, including the multinational empires of the past. It identifies the background of diverging concepts and definitions, different data sources and measurement problems of ethnic, religious and language groups. The conclusion presents a set of rules and guidelines for the improvement of data collection, especially in the context population censuses and sample surveys, as well as for data analysis.
