International Statistical Classification

The International Statistical Classification is a system used globally to categorize and code various types of data for statistical purposes. It helps standardize complex information, making it easier to collect, analyze, and compare data across different countries and fields. Common examples include classifications for diseases (ICD) or industries (ISIC). By providing a uniform framework, it enables researchers, policymakers, and organizations to analyze trends, allocate resources effectively, and create reports that can be universally understood, ultimately supporting better decision-making and improving public health and economic policies.
