World Statistics Day is a global observance held every five years to recognize the importance of statistics in shaping our societies. It was first celebrated on October 20, 2010, and then again on October 20, 2015. The United Nations Statistical Commission, along with statistical organizations around the world, promotes this day to raise awareness about the critical role that statistics play in decision-making, policy development, and research.
World Statistics Day aims to:
- Highlight the importance of official statistics in helping governments and organizations make informed decisions.
- Promote the use of reliable and accurate data for better governance and sustainable development.
- Recognize the work of statisticians and data producers who collect, analyze, and disseminate data.
- Enhance public awareness of the value of statistics in addressing global challenges.
Each World Statistics Day has a specific theme that reflects the current statistical priorities and challenges. Activities and events related to this day often include seminars, workshops, conferences, and data dissemination efforts to showcase the impact of statistics on various aspects of society, from economics and public health to the environment and social development.
