3. October 2008 3 Heli Jeskanen-Sundström About the use of administrative data at Statistics Finland Long experience, since the 1970 population census
First in social and demographic statistics, nowadays more and more also in business and environmental statistics
Statistics Finland is a ”heavy user”: about 96% of input data comes from administrative sources (as measured in number of statistical units times number of variables)
Combined use of administrative and survey data is very common
Totally register-based population census since 1990
