APPLY FOR STATISTICS ACCESS

WHY DO USERS HAVE TO APPLY FOR ACCESS?

The multidimensional tables of the ESD are not available for full public use. Data in the statistics section are harmonized and custom produced by the ESD technical team using data from small-scale survey organizations, and large-scale survey organizations including Statistics Canada, Eurostat, the U.S. Census Bureau and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Melbourne Institute. Researchers wishing to use the data are granted access with a username and password. Access is free of charge, however, researchers must be affiliated with an approved institution or organization. Users must also agree that the data are to be used for NON COMMERCIAL PURPOSES ONLY. Data may be used for academic or nonprofit/community research and for teaching.
