Using Administrative Data for Statistical Purposes Stephen Penneck Office for National Statistics United Kingdom
The Three Primary Sources • Administrative • Censuses • Surveys
Costs • Administrative data can replace survey data and will reduce respondent load • But need to include quality costs
Confidentiality • NSIs have strong record of confidentiality • New analysis possible through data linkage • Public confusion between administration / policy use and statistical use
The Three Challenges • Quality – how good are administrative data? • Costs – do they offer cost savings? • Confidentiality – how to overcome public perceptions?
