Description: The demand for analyzing labour market data has risen, in line with the prioritization of countries to better understand the functioning of the labour market and the impact of policies and programmes on outcomes, including unemployment and employment. The adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development requires governments and other stakeholders to monitor progress towards the defined goals and targets, including SDG 8 on Decent Work and Economic Growth. At the same time, new measures of the labour market are evolving through the adoption of statistical standards by the International Conference of Labour Statisticians (ICLS). The 19th and 20th ICLS resolutions on work statistics are crucial for decent work related SDG indicators, particularly SDG 8 on promoting inclusive and sustainable growth, employment and decent work for all. The analysis of labour market data relies on the availability of data, which has expanded in recent years, and the use of appropriate methodologies to identify key factors and trends relevant to evidence-based policymaking. In this regard, analysts and statisticians depend on statistical software that provides a user-friendly approach to data management, description, graphics and analysis. STATA is such a tool, which is powerful but easy-to-use, and is utilized across the world for analysing labour market data. Building on its long experience in delivering training on labour market statistics, the International Training Centre of the ILO in full collaboration with the ILO Department of Statistics is proud to offer the training Advanced STATA for labour market analysis. Harnessing the latest ground-breaking learning technologies, the ITCILO is proudly offering this face to face training in full collaboration with the ILO Department of Statistics. - This course qualifies for the Labour Market Statistics & Analysis Diploma.
Target Audience: The course targets: - Labour Statisticians from national statistical offices; Ministries of labour and related institutions (such as labour observatories); Other Ministries or Government institutions in charge of SDG statistical monitoring; - Employment and development policy analysts from National Statistical Offices, Research and Academic institutions, International organizations and Donor organizations; and - Officials responsible for managing the production and dissemination of labour market statistics, particularly for the SDG national reporting.

Description: Background and rationale National Statistical Offices (NSOs) and other entities comprising national statistical systems in the Asia-Pacific region are facing ever-increasing demand for statistical products that are timely, frequent, granular, and accurate. The continuous improvement of statistical business processes, including through standardization and automation, is imperative to keep up with this demand while assuring that quality standards are being met. This requires the deployment of IT tools that can be used for a wide range of these processes, are cost effective, and are widely accepted and supported. In R, NSOs in many countries are converging on a programming language and software environment that meets these criteria. Designed for statistical analysis, reporting and visualization, R is a powerful tool for data analysis. R and specific packages developed for it cover many of the processes schematized in the Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM).1, 2 R is open-source, which not only makes it free, but also makes it a solution that facilitates sharing and collaboration. And R is used by a worldwide community of an ever-increasing number of users, not only in official statistics, but also in academia, business, and other branches of government. Programme Concept note Objective The objective of the workshop was to strengthen and/or build (whatever the case may be) the capacity of participants in applying R and the packages developed for statistical business processes at their organizations. Specifically, the participants were expected to: Use R and RStudio and gain a sound foundation from which they can continue to learn within their organizations Learn about some commonly used R packages Explore examples of how R can be applied to official statistics Gain an understanding of how business processes for the production and dissemination of statistics can be structured, as reflected in the GSBPM

The purpose of the conference is to provide a public forum for researchers from academia and institutes of official (government) statistics to present, exchange ideas and discuss developments in state-of-the-art statistical software commonly used in applied economics and statistics. The most focused debates are expected to be on the use of R in Official Statistics. In 2022, we are delighted to announce that the 10th uRos, the first non-European uRos, will be hosted by Statistics Canada, as a virtual event.

Description: During this short course, the participant will have an opportunity to learn the basics of cluster analysis, one of the most popular data mining methods for the discovery of patterns in different types of data. Besides this, the course will have a strong hands-on component, as the participants will learn how to conduct a cluster analysis using the R programming language. The course will first cover some aspects of statistical learning and position the unsupervised learning, to which clustering belongs. Afterwards, the basic outline of the principals of clustering with examples would be given. The following aspects covered are algorithms of hierarchical clustering (AGNES, DIANA) and partitional clustering (k-means, k-medoids, CLARA). Finally, advanced techniques used to identify certain practical challenges with cluster analysis, such as the selection of the optimal number of clusters and the validation of cluster analysis results will be elaborated upon. All algorithms and additional tests introduced will be performed in R programming language through case studies.

Description: Save the date for the launch of FAO's joint report with the Oxford Poverty and Rural Development Initiative (OPHI). Evidence indicates that poverty worldwide is concentrated in rural areas, and that agriculture is central to the livelihoods and food security of these population groups. The report “Measuring rural poverty with a multidimensional approach: The Rural-Multidimensional Poverty Index (R-MPI)”, jointly developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Oxford Poverty and Rural Development Initiative (OPHI), presents the conceptual development and empirical validation of a multidimensional poverty index specific to rural areas: the Rural Multidimensional Poverty Index (R-MPI). The R-MPI is applied to four countries – Malawi, Ethiopia, Niger and Nigeria – and offers exciting new insights relevant for policymakers, academics and practitioners working on rural poverty alleviation. Results presented in the report demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach taken with the R-MPI, in building operational rural poverty profiles and the potential that the Index has in providing additional evidence on poverty dimensions that are not captured by other metrics. Confirmed discussants include Sabina Alkire (Director, OPHI), Máximo Torero (Chief Economist, FAO), Piero Conforti (ESS Deputy Director, FAO), Frank Vollmer (Researcher, OPHI), Theodora Swift Koller (Senior Technical Advisor, Equity, World Health Organization), Pali Lehohla (Former Statistician-General and Head of Statistics, South Africa). The panel discussion will be moderated by José Rosero Moncayo (ESS Director, FAO). Press release | FAO unveils improved method of measuring rural poverty

Description: Recurrent event data arise when the event of interest can recur in the same individual during follow-up. Some examples of recurrent events include sequences of hospital admissions, infection episodes, and tumor recurrences. Standard survival analysis methods that focus only on time to the first event cannot capture the cumulative experience of the recurrent events and could lead to invalid inferences. For this reason, the development of statistical methods that appropriately address the structure of recurrent events has attracted considerable attention. This short course introduces the R package reReg, which provides a collection of tools for exploratory analysis and nonparametric and semiparametric methods for analyzing recurrent event data.
Target Audience: This course’s intended audience includes researchers who want to gain basic exposure to analysing recurrent event data with the ultimate goal of incorporating R into their research programs.
