15.1. Comparability - geographical | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Geographical breakdown of all demographic data is in line with NUTS classification, therefore data are comparable at international and at national level. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15.2. Comparability - over time | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15.3. Coherence - cross domain | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The different subject-matter areas use the population data, therefore the statistical domains are coherent. The population data is suitable for calculating specific socio-economic indicators as regards the age, sex, marital status and region. There is a difference between data supplied in residence permits statistics (RP) and migration statistics (IM), the reason for the difference lies in distinct conceptual approaches. The reason for the relative difference between IM and RP stock statistics is that the National Directorate-General for Aliens Policing (NDGAP) does not provide the Eurostat with the number of persons who are in possession with long-term residence permits. According to the methodological standpoint of NDGAP, the NDGAP strictly provides Eurostat only with the number of persons who are in possession with a ‘residence permit’ and not with different types of ‘permanent residence permits’. According to this standpoint of NDGAP, it provides Eurostat not with all types of permits that entitle a third-country national for a long-term stay in Hungary. Another reason for the difference of RP and IM data that NDGAP does not provide the Eurostat with the number of residence permits issued for EFTA citizens and with the number of residence permits issued for persons taken under international protection (EFTA citizens are issued with so called ‘registration certificates’ and persons taken under international protection are issued with a special type of identity card, and not with a residence permit). |

17.1. Data revision - policy | |||
The general principles to review statistical data in HCSO can be found at: http://www.ksh.hu/docs/bemutatkozas/eng/ksh_revizios_politikaja_2018_eng.pdf. |
|||
17.2. Data revision - practice | |||
Major revisions: Corrections might be required because of potential differences between the estimated number of population and the population counted by the next census. The difference between the census and the estimated number of population may have methodological reasons. The discrepancies may require retrospective corrections as regards the estimated number of population, on the basis of the census data. The revision is made every ten years, and the estimated numbers of population in the years of the inter-census period are corrected on the basis of the latest census numbers retrospectively, depending on the extent of deviation. The last correction for the entire period between two censuses was based on the Census of 1 February 2001 for the years between 1991 and 2000. The discrepancies between the 2011 census data and the population estimations for 2011 January based on the 2001 census were not significant (0,26%), for which no retrospective data adjustment was made. However, the population estimation for 1 January 2012 was adjusted using census data of 1 October 2011. The reason for this was the conversion to the new, 2011 census base. Data on foreign citizens residing in Hungary on 1 January 2012 were recalculated based on Census 2011 due to the major difference between Census results administrative sources. The retrospective revision of the 2012-2022 inter-census period based on the new, 2022 census is currently underway. |

|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18.2. Frequency of data collection | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Collection of vital events data is continuous, data supply is connected to the events. Administrative input data sets for migration data are received twice a year. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18.3. Data collection | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Vital statistics are based on the primary data collections of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office. Statistical data production on vital events is in connection with the occurrence of such events and is obligatory on the basis of the Act CLV of 2016. on Official Statistics. Input data from administrative sources for producing migration statistics are received quarterly. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18.4. Data validation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Quality and consistency checks are carried out in the phases of data processing in order to handle logical contradictions and errors in records. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18.5. Data compilation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Data on births and deaths statistics are collected by civil registrars and health institutions, then compiled by the HCSO, where coding, editing and corrections are carried out. As regards migration data production, once administrative data sources are received by the HCSO, these are linked, edited and flows and stocks are calculated. The output is disseminated after data verification. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18.6. Adjustment | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The reason for the statistical adjustment is that population and vital statistics data are compiled from several data sources, which are not fully harmonized. |
