  • Celebrating the Establishment, Development and Evolution of Statistical Offices Worldwide: a Tribute to John Koren
    Statistical Journal of the IAOS 33 (2017) 337–372 337 DOI 10.3233/SJI-161028 IOS Press Celebrating the establishment, development and evolution of statistical offices worldwide: A tribute to John Koren Catherine Michalopouloua,∗ and Angelos Mimisb aDepartment of Social Policy, Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, Athens, Greece bDepartment of Economic and Regional Development, Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, Athens, Greece Abstract. This paper describes the establishment, development and evolution of national statistical offices worldwide. It is written to commemorate John Koren and other writers who more than a century ago published national statistical histories. We distinguish four broad periods: the establishment of the first statistical offices (1800–1914); the development after World War I and including World War II (1918–1944); the development after World War II including the extraordinary work of the United Nations Statistical Commission (1945–1974); and, finally, the development since 1975. Also, we report on what has been called a “dark side of numbers”, i.e. “how data and data systems have been used to assist in planning and carrying out a wide range of serious human rights abuses throughout the world”. Keywords: National Statistical Offices, United Nations Statistical Commission, United Nations Statistics Division, organizational structure, human rights 1. Introduction limitations to this power. The limitations in question are not constitutional ones, but constraints that now Westergaard [57] labeled the period from 1830 to seemed to exist independently of any formal arrange- 1849 as the “era of enthusiasm” in statistics to indi- ments of government.... The ‘era of enthusiasm’ in cate the increasing scale of their collection.

  • ICT Statistics at the New Millennium – Developing Official Statistics – Measuring the Diffusion of ICT and Its Impacts
    IAOS Satellite Meeting on Statistics for the Information Society August 30 and 31, 2001, Tokyo, Japan ICT Statistics at the New Millennium – Developing Official Statistics – Measuring the Diffusion of ICT and its Impacts JESKANEN-SUNDSTRÖM, Heli Statistics Finland, Finland 1. Introduction Over the past few years, compilers of statistics the world over have been forced to realise that the descriptive systems used in statistics are not keeping up with the pace of social and economic change. The internationalisation of economies, glo balisation, the rapid advance of the new technology, changes in production structures, business reorganisation and so forth all place increasing pressure on the national statistical systems. As the importance of the intangible economy grows, the foundation of the traditional compiling of statistics, based on readily identifiable and measurable parameters, is being eroded. The more complex economic phenomena and linkages become, the greater and more specific will be the needs of the users of statistics. The potential of statistical organisations to respond to these new challenges varies from one country to another. The countries with the most sophisticated statistical systems are currently making a concerted effort to find new statistical standards that would be more appropriate than those currently in use to describe the information society. At the same time, however, many countries are still struggling to establish statistics for the services sector or to develop labour force surveys. Section 2 gives a short and very rough overview of the ongoing work in the field of statistics relating to the development of information and communication technology (ICT) and its impacts on the economies and on the society as a whole.
