Objectives:

1. Census Monographs

The objective of this sub-programme is to improve exploitation of the data from the decennial census, through the production of census-based monographs.
This data base, unique in that it covers the entire Belgian population, could certainly be better exploited than it is today. In addition to the volumes of statistics published by the NIS, which present the data in tables, there are many other possibilities for further data processing.

This sub-programme provides funds for a more detailed statistical analysis of the areas considered in the census. Variables will be correlated (regression, trend analysis, multivariate analysis, typologies, detailed mapping ) and data from other sources will be included in the analysis (National Register, European Employment Survey, the Socio-economic and Demographic Panel Study of Belgian Households ). By comparing the data from the various sources, it will be possible to assess the reliability of the data and sources.


2. Databases Projects

In this sub-programme of the programme "Exploiting the Federal Socio-economic Databases", the aim is to extend the exchange of data and expertise among administrations and university researchers in a more structured manner than was the case under the Social Sciences and Public Economics programmes.
Public institutions may thus call upon the expertise of the various universities, while the latter benefit from a greater accessibility of administrative statistics and from the know-how of the administrations.

Description:

1. Census monographs

The census monographs are produced in collaboration with the NIS. The NIS supplies the basic data of the census to the research teams, who use the data to produce monographs thanks to programme funding.

The monographs have been divided into three topic-based groups: demographic topics, socio-economic topics, and geographical topics (see annexed list). In the latter group is included a socio-economic census atlas. Each group works under the direction of a coordinator.


2. Databases Projects

The administrative databases sensu stricto are not the only ones taken into account in the scope of this programme. Several databases are also developed by universities (as was already the case under the Social Sciences programme).

The databases concern:

- political opinion and the electoral behaviour of Belgians;
- the socio-economic and demographic situation of Belgian households.

In the latter case, for instance, a socio-economic and demographic panel study of Belgian households is implemented through collaboration between the various university institutions, the NIS, Eurostat, and the OSTC.

The databases projects are grouped under the headings: Work, Health, Panel Study of Belgian Households, Public Opinion Survey, and Other Topics.
