The National Data Agency is strengthening cooperation with the National Bureau of Statistics of China by sharing experiences in the field of statistics.
The agency announced on November 4 that it is hosting a bilateral meeting with the Chinese bureau from November 3 to 6 in Daejeon and Busan. This meeting continues a tradition of mutual visits that began in 1993, with a delegation of five members led by Deputy Director Luan Jianhong from the Chinese bureau attending.
The two agencies will share methods and key experiences in compiling demographic statistics, time use surveys, gender statistics, household finance and welfare surveys, and household trend surveys.
Improving survey methods is also a key agenda item. The discussions will focus on ways to meet user demands while reducing survey burdens, as well as utilizing big data and administrative data in household income and expenditure surveys to adapt to the evolving statistical environment.
Additionally, the Chinese delegation will visit the Busan Metropolitan City Hall to examine the current status of data and statistics production and utilization by local governments. They plan to share experiences in data utilization at the regional level.
Jung Dong-wook, Director of the National Data Hub Policy Division, stated, "Building on over 30 years of cooperation between our two agencies, I hope our collaboration will expand beyond traditional statistical surveys to include various data sources such as administrative data and big data."
