Within the preparatory activities for the forthcoming Census of Population, Households and Dwellings, the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia organized the Conference “Towards 2021 Census”,  held on 22/23 May 2018.

The Central Statistics Office publication, “ Population and Labour Force Projections 2017-2051" presents six population projections under contrasting scenarios for each year from 2017 to 2051 and three labour force projections are presented up to 2031.

The report is not an attempt to predict the future but rather presents how the population could evolve under different scenarios. By making assumptions about future trends in mortality, migration and fertility, we can project the population forward and examine the possible outcomes for demographic groups such as the school-going population, the working-age population and the elderly.

COOPSTAT News no. 17, the bilingual newsletter on Statistics Portugal international cooperation, is available at Statistics Portugal website, in PDF and EZine (Flash).

This issue covers the activities carried out from August 2017 to May 2018.

Sustainable development goals 2018

Statistics Portugal introduces the available indicators for Portugal deriving from the global indicator framework adopted by the UN to monitor progress towards achieving the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The indicators presented are mainly produced or disseminated in the context of the National Statistical System, allowing a statistical reading of the national performance vis-à-vis the SDGs, from 2010 up to the most recent year available.

The European Statistics Code of Practice was first adopted by the Statistical Programme Committee (SPC) in 2005. The Code was revised by the European Statistical System Committee (ESSC) in 2011 and 2017; the ESSC endorsed the latter revision on 16 November 2017. The revised Code has 16 principles concerning the institutional environment, statistical processes and statistical outputs. The Code aims to ensure that statistics produced within the European Statistical System (ESS) are relevant, timely and accurate, and that they comply with the principles of professional independence, impartiality and objectivity. A set of indicators of best practices and standards for each principle provides guidance and a reference for reviewing the implementation of the Code. We are currently working on the other language versions and they will become available shortly.
