About the session:
To respond to evolving demands for timely statistics, national statistical agencies are now stepping out of their comfort zone, aiming to discover new modalities, and exploring all potential data sources.
Data integration pulls together data from different traditional sources such as censuses, surveys, and administrative data, as well as new sources of data. It can provide more frequent, timely and disaggregated statistics, at lower cost; compared to traditional approaches. While this is promising, there are challenges on the way, including access to data, quality, interoperability, privacy and confidentiality, and limited technical capacity.
This Stats Café brings together expert panelists with relevant experience, providing perspectives on different dimensions of data integration.
