  • 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....

PUB DATE 2000-12-00 NOTE 75p.; M.A. Thesis, Indiana University. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses Masters Theses (042) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Comparative Education; *Educational Change; Educational History; *Educational Policy; Elementary Secondary Education; Foreign Countries; *Language Role; *Minority Groups; *Official Languages; Russian; Social Integration IDENTIFIERS Educational Issues; *Estonia; Language Policy; *Russian Speaking ABSTRACT This thesis, covering the years 1918-2000, is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1 reviews the interwar history of non-Estonian education with particular emphasis on the diversity of the non-Estonian population, the legislation protecting the right of minority groups. to mother tongue instruction, and the inclusion of Estonian language and civics courses in the curricula of non-Estonian schools. Chapter 2 examines the Soviet period with an emphasis on population shifts, the destruction of all non-Russian minority education, and the lack of attention to Estonian language in the Russian school curriculum. This chapter considers the debates over language and education in Estonia during the "glastnost" period. Chapter 3 examines the post-communist reforms in language education with particular attention to varying conceptions of integration, the need for improved Estonian-language programs in Russian schools, resistance to governmental reform, and the lack of material and human resources in Russian schools. Chapter 4 argues that the changes in Estonian-language programs stem primarily from grassroots efforts and examines experimental language-programs both within and outside the formal school system.

  • An Ethno-Linguistic Dimension in Transnational Activity Space Measured with Mobile Phone Data ✉ Veronika Mooses 1 , Siiri Silm 1, Tiit Tammaru 1 & Erki Saluveer 2
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-020-00627-3 OPEN An ethno-linguistic dimension in transnational activity space measured with mobile phone data ✉ Veronika Mooses 1 , Siiri Silm 1, Tiit Tammaru 1 & Erki Saluveer 2 In addition to permanent migration, different forms of cross-border mobility were on the rise before the COVID-19 pandemic, ranging from tourism to job-related commuting. In this paper ethno-linguistic differences in cross-border mobility using the activity space framework are 1234567890():,; considered. New segregation theories emphasise that segregation in one part of the activity space (e.g. in residential neighbourhood) affects the segregation in other parts of the activity space (e.g. in workplace), and that spatial mobility between activity locations is equally important in the production and reproduction of ethnic inequalities. Until now, segregation in activity spaces has been studied by focusing on daily activities inside one country. In reality, an increasing number of people pursue their activities across different countries, so that their activity spaces extend beyond state borders, which can have important implications for the functioning of ethno-linguistic communities and the transfer of inequalities from one country to another. This study takes advantage of mobility data based on mobile phone use, and the new avenues provided for the study of ethno-linguistic differences in temporary cross-border mobility. Such data allow the study of different cross-border visitor groups—tourists, com- muters, transnationals, long-term stayers—by providing the means to measure the frequency of visits and time spent abroad, and to link together the travel of each person over several years.

In Statistics Estonia the year 2010 was, in general lines, a routine one with respect to its regular and non-regular statistical actions. As usual, a number of larger and smaller development works were undertaken besides regular statistical actions. Last year, after the 2009 budget crisis, we were able to invest anew in the future. Now, we are again fully focused on further development of information systems in the fi eld of metadata, acquisition of administrative data, statistical registers, data processing applications and databases. All these works have been fi nanced from the European Union support funds. The year was also remarkable for special events and results. Ten years have passed from the previous Agricultural Census, and we collected again detailed data on agricultural holdings. We also tested the conduct of the coming 2011 Population and Housing Census. In view of a longer-term perspective, we started to work out methodology for the register-based Population and Housing Census in cooperation with the specialists in the spheres of population and administrative databases. Last year, we were more active in inviting colleagues from other countries to Estonia.
