This paper introduces a novel multivariate composite estimator for the Labour Force Survey (LFS). Unlike the univariate composite estimators used in some countries, the multivariate estimator takes into account the different probabilities of transitioning between labour market categories, such...

Estimating the size and places of residence of the population of Ukraine has been this country's problem for the past decade, and is related to the lack of census data for the 2010 round, large-scale processes of external and internal labour migration, and Russia's armed aggression against...

Menschen zählen aus dem All? Kann das denn möglich sein? Die Antwort lautet ja, allerdings ist diese Zählung nur in urbanen Räumen und nur auf indirekte Weise möglich. Aufgrund der indirekten Messung wird freilich gleichzeitig der Datenschutz perfekt gewahrt. Die hier dargestellte Methode...

Is it possible to count the earth’s population from outer space? The answer is yes, in urban areas it is possible. However, this can only be done in an indirect manner: by identifying physical objects in the urban landscape in earth observation data and using these to estimate the number of...

Population-based surveys are of limited utility to estimate rare or low-incidence groups, particularly for those defined by religion or ethnicity not included in the U.S. Census. Methods of cross-survey analysis and small area estimation, however, can be used to provide reliable estimates of...
