Evolution of the Austrian census

2006 Register-based test censusMethods, data procedures and use of registers were successfully tested

2009 Start of annual register-based labor market statisticsPossibility for application and improvement of methods

Data Privacy Protection – Unique keys

Data Privacy Protection – Target swapping

Educational

attainment Educational attainment

Target-swapping Detect risky records that could be identified because of their specific combination of attributes Exchange single attributes of those records with the characteristics of another individual.

The principle of redundancy

Same attribute in more than one register Comparison registers are used to confirm the values in the base

Persons who are only recorded in the CPR receive a letter containing the question: “Did you have your main residence in Austria at the reference date? – Yes or No?”

From Raw Data to the Final Data Pool

Raw data The single registers provided by the data holders Every register authority delivers the bPINs

Census Database The combined information from the registers The key for data merging is the bPIN_OS

Final Data Pool The final data after imputations by the NSI

RAW CDB FDP

Quality Framework

www.statistik.at slide 10 | October 2013

Quality assessment

Independence of the quality framework The framework is closely tied to the data flow, but independent from the processing to evaluate the process without influencing it.

Calculation of quality indicators Quality indicators are derived for each attribute in each register. Further these measures are calculated for the raw data level, CDB and FDP.

Hyperdimensions The hyperdimensions cover a) the quality of data generation and documentation b) the detection of formal errors, missing primary keys and non- response c) a comparison of census data with an external source

Potentials and perspectives

Quality indicators on register level - each attribute in each register is associated with a quality indicator - indicators can also be used for other projects and deliver essential information about the quality

Quality indicators for the Final Data Pool of register-based statistics

- indicator for each attribute which covers all quality-related aspectsquality of the registerquality of imputations

- The experience gained with the new census type can be of use for other population and household surveys - The quality framework can be used for other register-based statistics
