NEW STATISTICAL
PROJECTS AND PUBLICATIONS IN ISRAEL
Quarterly 1/2006, Issue No. 141
Editor: Michael Bar-Yaacov
EXPLANATORY NOTES
A. AIMS
This quarterly presents up-to-date
information on the planning and execution of new statistical projects and
publications in Israel - including inter alia, censuses, sample surveys and empirical
research in the social sciences. In accordance with the Statistics Ordinance
1972 as amended in 1978, the Central Bureau of Statistics collects and
publishes information on the above noted statistical projects which are
conducted (or commissioned or financed) by government ministries, public
institutions, academic institutions, research institutes etc. The purpose is to
bring to the attention of institutions and researchers, as well as to the
general public in Israel and abroad, information on new statistical projects
and on the appearance of publications, so as to avoid duplication in the
conducting of statistical surveys, and to permit efficient and maximal use of
available statistical data.
B. COVERAGE
The Quarterly covers new projects as follows:
1. Censuses,
sample surveys and research based on empirical inquiries, which are of public
interest.
2. Publications
containing statistical data and reviews of such research.
3. Computerized
files and databases which can yield statistics of public interest, or which can
serve as a statistical frame for sample surveys and empirical research.
4. Projects
and publications in the fields of methodology, mapping, geography and
classifications which could be of assistance in the preparation of statistics
in Israel, or in their use.
C. PUBLICATION
SCHEDULE
The Quarterly appears every three months, the
reporting period being the 3 months prior to the publication. Certain items
belong to an earlier period, but information about them reached the Bureau only
in the reporting period.
The editorial closing date of the present
issue (No. 141) is 9 March 2006.
D. CONTENTS

research projects, the following data are shown in the Hebrew section:

2. Publications
The Hebrew section contains bibliographies and summaries of
publications and reports containing statistical data, results of statistical
research, classifications and other tools useful in statistics.
