3rd Idescat Meeting with Analysts and Users

Today takes place the 3rd Idescat Meeting with Analysts and Users, entitled “New Developments in Municipal Statistics in Catalonia”, held at the Auditorium of the Association of Economists of Catalonia in Barcelona. The Meeting has been organised jointly by the Association of Economists and Idescat.

The main purpose of this Meeting is to share the progress that Idescat is currently making in official statistics from the perspective of the territorial dimension.

On the one hand, under the category of experimental statistics, two of the initiatives that have already proved successful will be presented: the Territorial Wage Statistics and the Vulnerability Index by census tract.

On the other hand, the Municipal Yearbook project, which Idescat will produce, will also be presented, in a participatory format facilitated by leading specialists in municipal information.

The Meeting will close with a reflection on the role of municipal statistics in the design and evaluation of local public policies, given by the director of the Catalan Institute for the Evaluation of Public Policy (Ivàlua).
