National Institute of Statistics (various countries)

National Institutes of Statistics (NIS) are government agencies responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating statistical data about a country's population, economy, and society. They conduct censuses, surveys, and research to provide reliable information that informs public policy, economic planning, and social programs. By offering insights into demographics, employment, and other key areas, these institutions help governments and organizations make informed decisions. Each country has its own NIS, tailored to its specific needs and legal frameworks, ensuring that the data reflects the unique context and challenges faced by its society.
