SOCIAL STATISTICS AND DATA SOURCES
(2)

Many social indicators compiled using household
surveys (Income/expenditure, DHS, MICS, LFS)

Demand for disaggregated indicators– (subnational and local levels, regions with specific
conditions – mountainous, deserts, coastal etc.,
age and gender, rural – urban)
Limitations of sample surveys (sample size/costs)
 Little budgetary support for surveys – high donor
dependence
 Lack of statistical capacity in many DMCs to carry
out sophisticated sample surveys


SOCIAL STATISTICS AND DATA SOURCES
(3)
 Administrative
data
 collected by line ministries as a byproduct in routine discharge of duties
 collected regularly and more frequently
 can be aggregated with break-ups of age,
gender, rural-urban at sub-national levels
 offer potential for compiling more timely
and disaggregated indicators

SOCIAL STATISTICS AND DATA SOURCES
(4)

But there are problems in their use for statistical
purposes
 may not be efficiently designed for statistical
purposes
 non-uniform/standard concepts, definitions and
methods, instruction manuals for data collectors
 Under-coverage, non-response, reporting delays
 Misreporting
 Lack of capacity in line ministries and in primary
data collectors
 lack of effective coordination between NSO and
line ministries
