Statistical agencies
Statistical agencies are government organizations responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating data about a country's social, economic, and demographic conditions. They conduct surveys, gather information, and produce reports that help inform public policy, research, and business decisions. Examples include the U.S. Census Bureau, which provides population data, and national statistics offices that track economic indicators like inflation and unemployment. Their work is essential for understanding trends, supporting government planning, and ensuring informed decision-making in society.
