IAOS 2018 - Official statistics standing out in the data avalanche: Mexico´s experience encouraging its use and increasing trust, J. Santaella

Mexico´s experience encouraging its use and increasing trust

Conference of IAOS: Better Statistics for Better Lives
Plenary Session: “Statistics as a trusted source of information”
3. NSO’s are already perceived as
trusted sources that generate
quality statistics
Credibility is our must important
asset
4. Mexico is the first OECD member to request a peer review of its
statistical system by the OECD’s CCSSP, and was conducted in
September 2017…
“One of the main findings was that Mexico´s framework has
proven effective in avoiding political interference with
Mexico’s statistics…”
“Also, that INEGI, has full technical and substantial
budgetary autonomy, good access to administrative data,
and tools available to improve overall national co-
ordination of statistics…”

In addition, INEGI asked the Mexico´s National
University to carry out a study to measure
perceptions about the Institute, its performance
and credibility…
6. But credibility is only a necessary
but not a sufficient condition for
people to use statistics, specially
when there are many players
producing information
8. The strategy:
Develop statistical literacy
among young generations
to expand our users base
Young generations are building

11. Statistics must tell stories to
people, people should be able to
relate to the statistics
12. Although some statistics may seem very technical, it is easy for
people to relate to them…

13. If NSO’s information reach young
generations, possibilities for them
to incorporate its use into their
decision making process increase
14. 14
Social media plays an enormous role in
how new generations acquire information
It gives us the opportunity to develop
proactive communication
It is the channel to interact with our
users
In today´s world, data dissemination is
where communication starts
15. We must communicate our statistics in the best formats for
each of them…
and develop a two-way communication (real-time interaction)
16. New technologies and the use of
internet and social media open
possibilities for NSO to exploit new
sources of information
17. Traditional vs new sources
Official Statistics
Big Data
Long tradition (centuries!)
Structured data
Sound methodologies
Refined models
Chaotic
Experimental
More timely
Lower production cost
How not to lose the essence of Official Statistics but make it more like Big Data?

species that survives, nor the
most intelligent that survives.
It is the one that is most
adaptable to change”

with audiovisual material that transmits information at a glance
and tells a story…
22. Experimenting with storytelling to communicate official statistics
UNECE’s Virtual Hackathon on Telling Stories (Sep-2017)
This story was picked as one of the
“winners” of the Hackathon
Subject: SDG indicator 8.6.1 Proportion of youth (aged 15–24 years) not in education, employment or training (NEET)
Using a tool that combines
maps with images and
multimedia, INEGI told a
story of the limitations of
SDG indicator 8.6.1 as a
meaningful measure of
youth problems
Storyline
The overrepresentation of young women as NEET: a rate of 30% vs. an adjusted rate
of just over 15% when:
• household unpaid and caring work is considered as productive
• youth non-adults at work are added up (since they should be at school, not in
the labor market)
23. We want that our users relate to
our information in order to catch
their interest
24. This means that our ways to interact with our users have had to
change and will keep changing…

26. NSO must:
• Strengthen their branding as a reliable source
• Show they produce statistics users can relate
to
• Change their communication tools, make them
more visual adapting them to the new channels
27. NSO must:
• Engage common citizens by telling stories &
using statistics in order to gain their trust
• Make young people interested in statistics
now, so they maintain this engagement
throughout their lives
28. How to make statistics entertaining
and rigorous at the same time?
To what extent are NSOs willing to
sacrifice technical rigor to gain
timeliness by using new sources?
