Everything about Statistics Netherlands totally explained
Statistics Netherlands, founded in
1899, is a Dutch governmental institution that gathers statistical information about the
Netherlands. In Dutch it's known as the
Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek, often abbreviated to
CBS. It is a department of the
Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and is located in
Voorburg and
Heerlen. Since
3 January 2004, Statistics Netherlands has been a self-standing organisation, or
quango.
The CBS collects statistical information about, amongst others:
- economic growth
- consumer pricing
- income of persons and households
- count of the population
- unemployment
The CBS carries out a program that needs to be ratified by the Central Commission for Statistics. This independent commission must guard the impartiality, independence, quality, relevance, and continuity of the CBS, according to the Law on the CBS of 1996 (
Wet op het Centraal bureau en de Centrale commissie voor de statistiek).
