Introduction
| Statistics | Standards
and methods |
The United Nations Statistics Division is the primary agency responsible at an international level for collecting statistics generated by population registers.
Increasingly population registers
are becoming a primary source of official population statistics. In some
countries they are used to replace traditional, questionnaire-based censuses,
either by themselves, or in combination with other data sources.
