Statistics Workers’ Day in Russia
June 25 · Level 1 · #2194 of 2238
Russia’s Statistics Workers’ Day honours the specialists who collect, check and interpret information about the country. Behind the charts are censuses, surveys and calculations that help explain changes in the population, economy and everyday life.
How it is celebrated: statistical offices congratulate colleagues, recognise professional achievements and hold workplace gatherings. Features about the profession and its history reveal the work that happens before a number reaches a report.
Statisticians do not always need to ask everybody. A carefully designed sample survey can estimate conditions across a large population using responses from just a portion of it.
