This is an announcement to call for papers for the 12th East Asian Statistical Conference.
In response to our proposal on the provisional themes of the Conference, we received a number of positive and useful comments and suggestions on the themes. Taking into consideration these comments and suggestions, we propose that the topics, call for papers, etc. of the Conference should be as follows.
Topics
We propose the following three major topics for the Conference. Considering the recent international movements in official statistics, we would like to propose following points of discussion for each topic. Presenters are asked to take note of these points in preparing his/her presentations. Each presenter is, of course, free to include other points of interests as he/she may wish. If there are other relevant points of interest you can think of, we welcome your proposals.
(1) Population Census and Household Surveys
- New methodologies and improvements in data collection for more accurate enumeration
- Promoting wider and more advanced use of statistics from the census and the surveys
- Building on the census as part of a broader program of demographic statistics, such as intercensal population estimates and population projections
- The role of the census as a potential framework for a household survey program
(2) Economic Statistics including the Economic Census and Business Registers
- Use of comprehensive censuses versus a set of surveys in providing the key national economic statistics
- Use of administrative data for supplementing or replacing the census or surveys
- Possibility of using the administrative data such as tax records, employment insurance records, and barriers to be overcome
- Harmonization with international statistical standards, such as SNA Rev.1 and ISIC.
(3) Management of National Statistical System
- New developments regarding the framework of the National Statistical System, such as priority setting and resource allocation
