Bosnia-Herzegovina 2024-2026

Statistics Denmark is implementing an EU-financed Twinning project in Bosnia and Herzegovina in cooperation with the national statistical institutions of Finland, Slovenia and Italy. The project runs from January 2024 to January 2026. This project is the fifth in a row of collaboration projects financed by the EU, with Statistics Denmark as the lead agency., This Twinning project addresses multiple institutions as they all constitute the national statistical system of Bosnia-Herzegovina. , The beneficiary institutions are:, Agency for Statistics of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Institute for Statistics of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Institute for Statistics of Republika Srpska,, The Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina, The overall objective of the project is to strengthen the national statistical system (NSS) in Bosnia-Herzegovina facilitating its approximation to the Union , acquis, in the area of statistics. The importance of this objective was highlighted on 15 December 2022, when , Bosnia and Herzegovina received candidate status for EU membership. The candidate status adds further urgency to the approximation process. , The project addresses five independent components:, Component 1: Business Statistics , Component 2: Tourism Satellite Accounts (TSA), Component 3: Information and Communication Technology Statistics (ICT), Component 4: Labour Markets Statistics , Component 5: Monthly Balance of Payments Statistics, Business Statistics, From previous Twinning Projects in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Danish and Finish experts have an in depth understanding of the local conditions. As EBS has come into effect both structural business statistics and short term statistics has to be adjusted in terms of methodology and data collection thereby requiring changes to the Statistical Business Register. At the same time, the burden put on respondents must not grow and should preferably be reduced through better data collecting and use of administrative data. ,  , Administrative data sources, The consortium has significant experience in the use of administrative data for production of statistics. With some accuracy, it can be claimed that the use of administrative data was invented in Scandinavia.,  , Denmark and Finland has a long history of using administrative data sources. Statistics Finland is required by law to use administrative sources if available in order to minimize respondent burden and in Denmark, nearly all social statistics are based on administrative records. Data on wages and employment are also usually extracted from business and tax authorities. ,  , TSA and ICT, TSA and ICT are new areas to this Twinning but are all produced by the MS partners. Implementation of ICT in Bosnian-Herzegovina is already well advanced and the component may be directed more at methodologies used for collecting and producing the statistics than actually compiling them. TSA or more formally Tourism Satellite accounts are often produced in a venture between NSIs and relevant public institutions such as the national board of tourism and academia. ,  , Labour markets statistics, Labour market statistics are produced according to Eurostat and ILO requirement. Data is compiled using a combination of surveys and administrative records. The coming project will focus on using administrative records.  ,  , Monthly Balance of Payment, Balance of Payment is usually produced in close collaboration between the national statistical institutes and the Central / National Bank. As in two previous project, we hope to continue the work relation established between Statistics Finland, the Central Bank of Finland and the Central Bank of Bosnia-Herzegovina. If relevant expertise from Italy may also be mobilized.

Data is validated at both macro and micro level, where fluctuations in the number of students across time are controlled for errors and irregularities at the individual level, for example overlap between educations, are corrected., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The statistics are relevant for public administrators, scientists and other analysts, journalists and citizens etc. as basis for prognoses, analyses and planning purposes in the educational field, but also for example in the labour market field and the integration field. The basic data for the statistics are used as background data for most of the personal statistics at Statistics Denmark, and it is the basis for the tables in StatBank Denmark about education. , Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The administrative systems that are the basis for the statistics are used by the institutions for their own daily administration of the pupils and also for the payment of different economic grants. Correct registers are therefore necessary for the economy of the institutions and contributes to an expected high quality of the data source. The vocational education field is a field with many different ways to get an education, which creates more possibilities for incorrect registrations e.g. wrong registrations of the students on the institutions or errors in the conversion to the correct format., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published about 4 months after the reference time which is 1 October. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The current time series of these statistics goes back to 2005, but statistics on vocational education have been made further back than this. Vocational education reforms can be a challenge when comparing figures over time. Furthermore, it may be difficult to compare the figures internationally, as vocational training is defined differently from country to country., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, In the StatBank, these statistics can be found under the subject , Upper secondary education, .

The statistics been complied since 1994, but is in its current form comparable from 2007 and onwards. , Statistical presentation, The statistics provide an overview of the number of members of employee organisations with attachment to the labour market i.e. excl. trainees, retirees, early retirees and self-employed. The statistics are grouped by central organisations/individual organisations and gender. The statistics are published annually and disseminated in the newsletter Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik and in the StatBank., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, These statistics are based on annual reports from employees' organisations on the number of members attached to the labour market per December 31. Data are typically validated by comparing the current year’s reporting with that of previous years for each organisation. As of the reference date 31 December 2023, total membership figures are also reported for each organisation. These totals are then compared with the reported number of members with labour market affiliation per organisation to ensure consistency., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, Users of the statistics are typically employee and employer organisations, researchers and the media. No dissatisfaction has been expressed with the statistics., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The statistics are based on reports from Central Employee Organisations and other employee organisations. Not all employee unions are able to calculate the precise figures exclusive members not attached to the labor market, i.e.. students, early retirees and pensioners, and self-employed. The data are therefore believed to be a little overestimated for some organisations. On the other hand, there may be small employee organisations that are not included. The data are normally not revised, but if errors are detected they are corrected back in time as far as possible. Although participation in the statistics is voluntary, all employee organisations appear to submit data., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published 4-5 months after the reference date. , The statistics are usually published on the scheduled date without delay., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics have been compiled (without data breach) since 2007. Minor breaks in the time series may occur when employee organisations change their reporting methods. For example, the previously observed sharp decline in membership figures for some organisations (mainly those under LO) from 2011 to 2012 was due to the inclusion of members without labour market affiliation in earlier reporting. However, this decline has been addressed as of the publication on 19 May 2025, by revising the reported figures downwards for the period 2007–2011., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics is published yearly in a Danish press release (Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik) at the same time as the tables are updated in the StatBank.
