Organizer(s): ESCAP UNFPA International Development Research Centre IUSSP Scientific Panel on Population Registers, Ethics and Human Rights

Description: This webinar will explore how law, history and policy have shaped the inclusiveness of birth registration in South Africa, Brazil and Uganda; how the design and implementation of digitized voter registration systems in Cameroon can both be a force for inclusive and mechanism of exclusion; and how the accessibility of population register systems varies for different vulnerable subpopulations.  The webinar showcases individual fellow research projects and a collaborative group project being undertaken through the IUSSP Initiative on Population Registers, Ethics and Human Rights. This initiative infuses interdisciplinary perspectives, drawing on perspectives from law, history, economics, public policy, demography, and public health, to address the ethical and human rights challenges that are emerging as population register systems are rapidly digitised.  This webinar is co-hosted by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada, the UNFPA Centre of Excellence for CRVS Systems and the IUSSP Scientific Panel on Population Registers, Ethics and Human Rights.

Description: About the session Technological advances in the use of population registers for the purposes of administration and service delivery has increased interest in establishing them or developing them further. At the same time, increased demand for timely and disaggregated data, such as for monitoring the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, amplifies interest in population registers as a source of statistical data, especially with regards to up to date and granular population estimates. The COVID-19 pandemic has put a spotlight on the need to broaden statistical methods and sources, including the use of administrative data such as registers for statistical production. For example, it is impossible to calculate accurate and timely mortality rates, a key indicator of the impact of COVID-19, where the exposed population is not correctly known. This Stats Café brought together experts from international and regional organizations and national governments to discuss experiences using population registers as a critical source of population data while also recognizing their role in facilitating the realization of universal legal identity.
