This publication explores how data from administrative records can complement traditional data sources such as surveys and censuses to enhance government planning for sustainable and inclusive development.
It provides guidance on how administrative data-such as health, pension, and employment data in a social security system-can be a cost-effective way of developing and monitoring quality work- and labor-related statistics and indicators. The publication also explains the challenges, solutions, and future opportunities for producing, analyzing, and communicating statistics from administrative data sources.
