Everything about National Institute Of Statistics And Census Of Argentina totally explained
National Statistics and Censuses Institute (
Spanish:
Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos, INDEC) is the
Argentine government agency responsible for the collection and processing of statistical data. The institute also analyses economical and social indicators such as
inflation rate,
consumer price index and
unemployment, among others.
Functions
The INDEC is supervised by different federal agencies, and is under the direct oversight of the
Secretaría de Programación Económica y Regional (Secretariat of Economic and Regional Planning) of the
Ministerio de Economía y Producción (Ministry of Economy and Production, MECON).
The INDEC also coordinates the
Sistema Estadístico Nacional (National Statistics' System, SEN) under principles of normative centralization and governmental division. In the SEN works together national, provincial and local statistical services, and in each province there's a statistics bureau called
Dirección de Estadística dependent of the provincial government, that takes and processes information.
Censuses in
Argentina are officially held every 10 years. Performed censuses have been in
1869,
1895,
1914,
1947,
1960,
1970,
1980,
1991 (delayed for budget problems) and
2001.
In-between censuses the information is permanently updated with the
sampled Encuesta Permanente de Hogares (Permanent Homes' Survey). Official complete reports are delivered every 6 months.
History
The first national statistics' centre was the
Dirección General de Estadística (General Directorate of Statistics), established in
1894 as a division of the Ministry of Public Finances. Fifty years later, in
1944, the
Consejo Nacional de Estadística y Censos (National Council of Statistics and Censuses) was created, with dependencies on both the Ministry of the Interior and the National Presidential Office. Other agencies were later formed in
1950,
1952, and
1956 before the final creation of the
Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos in
1968 by Law 17622 and Decrees 3110/70 and 1831/93.
Data manipulation
A conflict raised within the organization when the government of President
Néstor Kirchner replaced Gabriela Bevacqua, the Consumer Prices Indicator director (
Índice de Precios al Consumidor - IPC) with an external functionary, after an inflation report of 1.5% for January 2007.
The head of the INDEC later resigned, and a new directory was placed by the Ministery of Economy and several employees manifested their discontent for what they saw as a violation of INDEC's autonomy, and a maneuver of the Minister of Economy under
Felisa Miceli to illegally keep inflation indicators under one percent.
Data manipulation continues until today.
