What makes population statistics unique?

In this episode we are talking about population statistics. We show how they can provide crucial insights into society and help govern-ments plan infrastructure and services. Experts from Eurostat and UNECE discuss data collection methods, privacy concerns, and the importance of understanding demographic trends through the cen-sus and administrative data. In a conversation with Jonathan Elliott on this topic, Hannah Kiiver, Eurostat’s population projection expert, David Thorogood, specialist in population and housing census statistics in Eurostat, and Andres Vikat from the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), provide an in-depth look at how population statis-tics are collected, analysed and used to inform policy and planning.
