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.
