5. Conclusion The United Nations Statistical Commission, established in 1947, is the apex entity of the global statistical system. It brings together the Chief Statisticians from member states from around the world. It is the highest decision making body for international statistical activities especially the setting of statistical standards, the development of concepts and methods and their implementation at the national and international level. The Statistical Commission oversees the work of the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), and is a Functional Commission of the UN Economic and Social Council. In resolution 1566 (L), the Council stressed the importance of the Commission's coordination function and the need to achieve an integrated system in the collection, processing and dissemination of international statistics;
The terms of reference as set forth in Economic and Social Council resolution 1566 (L) of 3 May 1971, reaffirming its resolution 8 (I) of 16 February 1946, as amended by resolution 8 (II) of 21 June 1946, state that the Commission shall assist the Council:a) in promoting the development of national statistics and the improvement of their comparability;b) in the coordination of the statistical work of specialized agencies;c) in the development of the central statistical services of the Secretariat; d) in advising the organs of the United Nations on general questions relating to the collection, analysis and dissemination of statistical information; e) in promoting the improvement of statistics and statistical methods generally.
recognized the interest of the Statistical Commission and the Statistical Division in matters related to the use of computers in the United Nations system; and requested the Secretary-General to undertake, in cooperation with the specialized agencies, concerted action to assist the developing countries in strengthening their statistical systems.
Indicators included in the list Mid-year population by age-group, sex and residence Number of students/pupils officially enrolled by sex, level and type of school (private/public) Public and private expenditure on education Nurses and midwives (per 1,000 people) Expenditure on health Under-five mortality rate Life expectancy at birth Labour force by age and sex Number of unemployed
Mid-year population Source of data Demographic Year Book – based on data obtained annually from countries based on questionnaire United Nations Statistics Division: Yearly Data issues De-facto and De-jure A de facto population includes all persons physically present in the country or area at the reference date. The de jure population, by contrast, includes all usual residents of the given country or area, whether or not they were physically present in the area at the reference date. Different countries follow different concepts but in both cases they may not confirm to the actual concepts
Rural-Urban classification Wide variations among national definition and concept of ‘urban’ areas. Age-distribution Age is often misreported Enrollment in School Source of data UNESCO Institute of Statistics: Yearly Based on data reported by the Education Ministries or National Statistics Office through a questionnaire sent to countries annually
Classification Enrolment in primary education is the number of children of official primary school age (according to ISCED 97) who are enrolled in primary education – similarly for other levels ISCED - The International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) belongs to the United Nations International Family of Economic and Social Classifications, which are applied in statistics world-wide with the purpose of assembling, compiling and analyzing cross-nationally comparable data. ISCED is the reference classification for organizing educational programmes and related qualifications by education levels and fields.
For example: Primary education is defined by ISCED97 as programmes normally designed on a unit or project basis to give pupils a sound basic education in reading, writing and mathematics along with an elementary understanding of other subjects such as history, geography, natural science, social science, art and music. Collection Countries report through questionnaire according level of education defined in ISCED to ensure international comparability. The data comes from administrative data sources Data issues Data derived from administrative sources may not be based on same classification over time – adjustment made for comparability Adjustments made for over-reporting (other programmes included) or under-reporting (private schools not included or part of the country excluded) Un-known age
Under-five mortality rate Source of data Levels and Trends in Child Mortality Estimates Developed by the UN-Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation UNICEF, WHO, The World Bank and Un Population Division: Yearly Data availability and estimation Basic data from countries – but limited availability of high quality data from many developing countries Most preferred source is civil registration system – but incomplete in most countries Mostly MICS, DHS and Census is used The Group estimates the data for a particular year using statistical modeling based on all the data points available from different sources Time lag –surveys 2.5 years and 3,5 years at the time of publications
