This book is about the function and use of official statistics. It
welcomes the aspiration for official statistics to be an
indispensable element in the information system of a democratic
society, serving the government, the economy and the public with
data about the economic, demographic, social and environmental
situation. The book identifies the political role of official
statisticians, who decided what gets measured as well as how it is
measured. While thousands of official statistics are published
every year, and some are quoted by politicians, used by
policy-makers or reported in the media, the authors observe that,
in the main, official statistics do not feature much in everyday
lives of people and businesses. The book concludes with suggestions
for more that should be done, especially in the context of
improving wellbeing and helping meet the worldwide set of
sustainable development goals set for 2030.
