With this latest edition, the Courrier des statistiques releases its eighth issue. The review once again aims to address some major issues faced by official statistics, using an educationally-oriented tone. This eighth issue of the Courrier opens with a piece on the Trajectoires et Origines TeO survey, which, in a unique manner, explores how the origins of immigrants or children of immigrants influence their trajectories and living conditions.
The second article provides an analysis of the field of statistics dedicated to local authorities. Registers are in the spotlight in the next five articles.
After defining registers, these "repositories that are essential and yet little understood" as standardised and living information systems, the following two articles take us into the intertwined worlds of the National Register for the Identification of Individuals RNIPP and the National Identification Management System SNGI.
We then leave the realm of individuals to take an interest in companies, with SIRUS, the statistical business register, which is an essential tool for business statisticians. Finally, the last article introduces us to a unique feature of the French statistical system, with the presentation of the Permanent Equipment Database BPE.
The National Register for the Identification of Individuals includes the civil status of million people who were born or have lived in France. Mainly used to check the conformity of identities or to verify the vital status of individuals, the register generates more than 42 million connections each month, notably via the FranceConnect service.
