What international standards exist to phrase such questions? Denominations commonly used in surveys in one country may be considered horrific or even illegal in others. I see OECD considers it a difficult problem too: ---- 76. Current NSOs collection practices cluster around three broad categories: 1) all OECD countries collect information on some diversity proxies such as country of birth (36 OECD members); 2) a small majority, mostly Eastern European countries, the United Kingdom and Ireland, gather additional information on race and ethnicity (16 OECD members); and 3) only a handful of countries in the Americas and Oceania collect data on indigenous identity (6 OECD members). Diversity statistics are collected from the perspective of either enumerating the size of the relevant populations (typically in the census) or of comparing well-being outcomes across different population groups. 77. While privacy and human rights legislation sometimes prevents or discourages the routine collection of diversity data, the need to improve data availability and quality is being recognised in most countries. Many countries are piloting the addition of new ethnic response options to more accurately reflect the make-up of their societies (e.g. Ireland, the United States), while Belgium is considering allowing collection of race and ethnicity data within the restrictions imposed by the national legal framework. Within the European Statistical System, the inclusion of more detailed migration information is also being considered: The Framework Regulation for Production of European Statistics on Persons and Households European foresees the incorporation of questions on the country of birth of the respondent’s parents in the Labour Force Surveys (from 2020), the European Health Interview Survey, the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions, the Household Budget Surveys and the Community surveys on ICT usage in households and by individuals. The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights is pursuing its Roma and Travellers Survey to collect comparable data in six selected Member States in 2018 (FRA, 2018[77]). ---- https://www.oecd.org/officialdocuments/publicdisplaydocumentpdf/?cote=SDD/DOC(2018)9&docLanguage=En Federico _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
