INEC promueve investigación y análisis económico - El Heraldo

The National Institute of Statistics and Censuses in Ecuador engaged university students to promote the rigorous and transparent use of official statistical data. By explaining the methodology behind the national household survey, the initiative aimed to strengthen statistical culture among future economists and data scientists, ensuring they understand how to responsibly interpret socioeconomic patterns. This effort is crucial because the survey data serves as the foundation for defining poverty lines and designing effective social policies. Bridging the gap between statistical production and academia ensures that decision-makers and researchers rely on high-quality, representative information for public planning and impact studies. This article highlights a key open data principle: accessibility fosters trust and utility. By demystifying data collection for students, the INEC encourages broader adoption of open datasets, empowering the next generation of professionals to drive development through evidence-based analysis and informed civic engagement.
