Regional Webinar for National Statistical Services of the CIS Countries on «Measuring Migration in the 2020 Round of National Population Censuses»
A regional webinar will take place on November 30, 2023, as part of a regional UNFPA programme “CISPop “Better Data for Better Policies”.
The webinar will focus on discussing the role of population censuses in collecting data on migration and ethno-cultural characteristics of the population and assessing the current state of the information base for migration research and the development of migration policies.
The discussion will cover aspects of collecting data on migration and ethno-cultural characteristics of the population in the CIS countries in recent censuses, difficulties that census organizers encountered and perspectives for analysis of the collected information.
Staff members from national statistical offices of the CIS countries where the population census is yet to be conducted are also welcome to take part in the webinar to discuss plans concerning information on migration that is expected to be gathered during the upcoming censuses.
CISPOP “BETTER DATA FOR BETTER POLICIES” is a regional United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) programme. The programme is aimed at strengthening methods for collecting, analyzing and using population data for evidence-based policy-making in the CIS countries and is funded by the Russian Federation.
Developing policies that enable societies to prosper in the face of demographic changes requires reliable systems for collecting, analyzing and using population statistics. After the dissolution of the USSR, the all-Union centralized system of statistical accounting ceased to exist. As a result, in many countries of the former USSR, problems arose related to national potential in the field of statistics, public perception of the role of population data in national development processes and, accordingly, the collection, analysis and utilization of such data in the formation of national policy. CISPop projects aim to address the existing difficulties and improve communication between statistical services of the CIS countries.
The goal of the program is to provide stronger data and evidence base for policy-making in the CIS countries.
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is the UN body that guides the UN system operational activities in the field of population and assists developing countries and those with economies in transition in finding solutions to demographic problems. The Fund seeks to improve reproductive health and family planning services based on individual choice and formulate population policies supporting efforts towards sustainable development. It also contributes to a better understanding of population problems and helps governments address them in ways that are most appropriate to the needs of the specific country.
Centrostat - The International Center for Statistical Expertise. The Centrostat was founded in 2020 and is hosted by the Information and Publishing Center "Statistics of Russia". The establishment of the Centrostat was the result of the joint activities of Rosstat and the World Bank to develop official statistics in Russia and to work on strengthening international statistical capacity. The Centrostat cooperates with everyone ready to contribute to developing official statistics and promoting statistical literacy. The Centrostat seeks to ensure that data becomes an effective decision-making tool for everyone: government, business, and society.
The Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) is a federal executive body responsible for generating official statistical information on social, economic, demographic, environmental and other social processes in the Russian Federation, as well as oversight of official statistics in the manner and cases provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
