  • The Importance of CRVS Systems
    INFORMATION NOTE Getting Every One in the Picture for Gender Equality The importance of Civil Registration and Vital Statistics systems for gender equality1 Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) systems play a significant role for all individuals by ensuring the registration of births, deaths, marriages, and other vital events, and the recording of causes of death. They provide individuals with legal forms of identification, enabling access to government services such as education and healthcare but also facilitating opening a bank account, formal employment and getting a driving license or a passport. In addition, these systems provide data on the population of a country, facilitating the provision of services and statistics which leave no one behind. CRVS systems are therefore crucial to realize many of the commitments to achieve gender equality and women’s empowerment in the context of the 2030 Agenda and beyond. People in many countries face barriers that limit registration, and the impact of registration or lack of registration often depends on sex. The barriers potentially block women and girls from accessing services, restrict their enjoyment and exercising of rights and reinforce a gender gap. It is crucial that CRVS systems include all population groups equally, including women and girls, otherwise they are not only left uncounted but also limited in access to means of achieving empowerment such as education and economic opportunities. Efficient systems can benefit women and girls through access to financial services, rightful claims to property or inheritance and some protection against child marriage. Systematically enforced, birth and marriage registration are key to preventing child marriage.2 A gender lens is required because gender inequalities shape the constraints of CRVS systems, thus determining many of the gaps and challenges in using civil registration data for producing vital statistics.

  • Civil Registration: Maintaining International Standards in Emergencies
    Civil registration: Maintaining international standards in emergencies Srdjan Mrkić United Nations Legal Identity Task Force United Nations Statistics Division New York, 5 October 2020 • A set of international standards for civil registration – universal, continuous mandatory and confidential registration of all vital events – is well established and entrenched in United Nations documents • Even in the best of circumstances not all countries/areas are able to fully adhere to these standards • In times of emergencies, maintaining these standards becomes much more difficult • In COVID-19 pandemic, national civil registration systems that were able to function uninterrupted registered excess deaths; many other were obstructed and registered noticeably less vital events compared to previous years • Computerizing civil registration systems and developing and testing contingency planning and measures - unambiguous necessity and priority Introduction Civil registration is defined as the continuous, permanent, compulsory and universal recording of the occurrence and characteristics of vital events pertaining to the whole population. The international set of standards and recommendations on establishing, maintaining and operating national civil registration systems has been developed by the United Nations since early 1950’s and was regularly updated with the most recent version issued in 2015; it places civil registration front and center of the holistic approach to civil registration, vital statistics and identity management as elaborated in the United Nations Legal Identity Agenda. The term “civil registration method” refers to the procedure employed in gathering the basic information on the incidence and characteristics of vital events that occur in the population of a country (or area) within a specified time period, upon which the preparation of vital records with legal value and the production of vital statistics are based.

  • The Chinese CRVS System- Move Forward to the Universal Coverage
    The Chinese CRVS system- move forward to the universal coverage CAI,Yue CHSI, NHFPC Content • Background. • Introduction of Chinese Civil Registration and Vital Statistics System. • The National Population Basic Information Database. • Multi-source mortality data comparison. Background • Vital Registration information are records of population dynamic events which should be universal covered, continuous, permanent and legal. The core information of Vital Registration include birth registration and death registration (include cause of death). • Reliable vital statistics are important for national authorities to optimize the allocation of health resources and formulate social and economic development plan. Death Registration • HISTORY: • Vital Registration system: The vital registration system was established early in the 1950s, collecting death data (including cause of death) in Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and other 13 cities. In 2000, the system has covered 15 cities, 21 middle/small cities and 90 counties covering about 11 million people; by 2012, the system has expanded to include 181 districts and 138 counties covering about 230 million people. • Disease Surveillance Points system: Established in 1978 with two surveillance points in Beijing. In 1990, the number of points had increased to 145 covering approximately 10 million people. In 2004, the system has expanded to include 161 points covering 73 million people. Death Registration • Development: • Death Registration system: – In 2013, National Health and Family Planning Commission, Ministry of Public Security and Ministry of Civil Affair jointly issued a notification on strengthening the mortality information reporting and management. • This notification standardized the format and reporting process of death certificates, required all hospitals should report death certificate information not only for those dead in hospitals but also for those dead at home within the administrated area.
