IAOS Krakow Working Group third debate on fostering strong ethical principles underpinning data and statistics for the common good

The aim of this debate organised by the IAOS Krakow Working Group is to exchange views on the ethical challenges arising from the evolving data environment under which Official statistics operate. It will cover two sets of issues: (i) how the increasing use of privately‐held data by official statistics is leading to new developments to reinforce the professional values and ethical principles underpinning official statistics; and (ii) how official statistics could engage with providers of data from outside Official statistics that contribute to public decision‐making and public debates and other stakeholders to foster strong ethical principles.
