Description
The session will focus on emigration statistics, discussing data collection methods, challenges, innovative methods and solutions. Eurostat will provide an overview of the state of the art of emigration statistics in the European Union, highlighting the main approaches used to measure emigration and key challenges faced. Two country case studies will follow: the Italian National Institute of Statistics will present the use of the “Signs of Life” methodology to improve emigration statistics by addressing over-coverage of the Population Register; the High Commission for Planning of Morocco will share their experience in strengthening emigration statistics through National Surveys and Census innovations. A final presentation from Eurostat will focus on reconciling internal EU immigration and emigration flows for population projections. Through these presentations, addressing current issues and exploring innovative methods, the session aims to identify practical steps and examples to improve emigration statistics internationally.
