The handbook gives recommendations on how governments can collect migration data. It offers brief summaries of key concepts and challenges when analysing the field, and includes detailed chapters on specific methodologies (such as using censuses or administrative data). Included in the chapters are templates for each method, such as sample survey modules. A glossary of terms and a long list of references are great for ensuring familiarity with the topic.
Available in English, French, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish, this report examines the role of the data revolution in aiding national and regional development, with a special focus on the role of national statistical offices in developing countries at providing the ‘right data’ to the ‘right people’ in the ‘right format.’ National Statistical Systems (NSS) are crucial to generating the data needed to promote development and reduce poverty and to monitor international development go
These recommendations aim to: (a) provide guidance and assistance to countries in the planning and execution of their population and housing censuses; and (b) to facilitate and improve the comparability of census at the UN regional level through the identification of a core set of census topics and the harmonization of concepts, definitions and classifications.
Les principaux objectifs de ces recommandations sont les suivants : a) Orienter les États Membres et les aider à organiser et réaliser leur recensement de la population et des habitations ; et b) Faciliter et améliorer la comparabilité régionale des recensements en sélectionnant un ensemble de caractéristiques de base1 et en harmonisant les concepts, définitions et classifications.
