Population and Social Statistics

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. Population and social statistics are important tools for measuring the wide scope of social dimensions of the SDGs. To address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, and social injustices, UNSIAP provides eLearning courses in poverty, health, gender equality (2021) and crime statistics (2021) in collaboration with partners.
