A suggested approach to the provision of data for socio-economic analysis and projections

Abstract

These items of the discussion programme have highlighted the needs of data for economic and social, analysis and projections as well as indicating how these needs can be met. It seems then that the other point on which conclusions will have to, be reached is how best to organize data provision so that the needs of economic and social analysis, projections and hence planning can be adequately met. For this to be achieved, decisions will have to be made on a desirable procedure for planning as well as on the responsibilities for providing the different types of data required for analysis and projections.
