Statisticians' Day in Kazakhstan
November 8 · Level 2 · #1952 of 2238
Statisticians' Day in Kazakhstan recognises the specialists who collect and analyse information about the country. Population figures, price measures and production totals all depend on people obtaining, checking and organising data so that comparisons mean something.
How it is celebrated: statistical agencies congratulate staff, recognise professional achievements and bring colleagues together. Discussions cover data collection methods and ways to make statistics clearer and more useful to the public.
The occasion traces its history to the establishment of a statistical administration in 1920. The national statistical service therefore has roots that long predate Kazakhstan's independence.
