The purpose of this workshop is to review procedures for
obtaining fertility and mortality statistics by maximizing
the use of multiple data sources and propose strategies
for improving civil registration in the region. The workshop
will also review national approaches to the collection of
disability statistics. In addition, the meeting will explore
ways of increasing the utilization of fertility, mortality
and disability statistics at national and international
levels. In this regard, the Demographic Yearbook system
of collection and dissemination of these statistics will
be considered.
