Although the work-load
standards of 1990 might be considered as out-dated, it is within the
Administration’s discretion to apply such a calculation method as long as its use
cannot be considered as arbitrary or otherwise irregular.
35. (...) The Manual further provided that the selected assessment method
“forms part of the evaluation criteria” and among the elements to be borne in
mind by Hiring Managers in conducting assessment exercise is the applicable
rating system.
42. (...) The Hiring Manager further testified that he based the evaluation method for
the advertised posts on the one used when engaging in contractual work
arrangements with UNOG.

Kazakhstan’s Labour Ministry urges changes into methods for calculating minimum subsistence level
Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Labour and Social Protection in December will submit to the government its proposals to change methods for calculating a minimum subsistence level in the republic, statistics agency chief Alikhan Smailov said on October 15.
(...) Since 2006, when Kazakhstan for the last time revised the calculation methods, the structure of households’ spending has changed and the share of non-food expenditures has increased, the statistics agency chief said.

Why seasonally adjust?
(...) In general, other random disruptions and unusual movements that are readily understandable in economic terms (for example the consequences of economic policy, large scale orders or strikes) will also continue to be visible
unido.org/statistics
Seasonal Adjustment
the Seasonally Adjusted results do not show “normal” and repeating events, they provide an estimate for what is new in the series which is the ultimate goal of Seasonal Adjustment
unido.org/statistics
Costs and Risks
Seasonal Adjustment is time consuming, significant computer/human resources must be dedicated to this task
Inappropriate or low-quality Seasonal Adjustment can generate misleading results and increase the probability of false signals (credibility effects)
The presence of residual seasonality, as well as over-smoothing, are concrete risks which could negatively affect the interpretation of Seasonally Adjusted data

Further, given the difficulty of accurately
measuring migration, data integration could include methods to reconcile different migration
figures as derived from different sources, for example “triangulating” (assuring validity through
the use of more than one method to collect data on the same topic) results from different data
sources to develop estimates for “hard-to-count” migration populations, such as irregular
migrants or emigrants.
3. (...) The Task Force will carry out the following activities:
(a) Review of methods used or under study by countries to integrate administrative sources to measure migration, including a list of potential administrative sources;
page 3
(b) Review of methods used or under study by countries to combine administrative and non-administrative data sources to measure migration, including statistical
modeling;
(c) Review of methods used or under study by countries to reconcile migration figures derived from different data sources for improving final migration
estimates;
(d) Development of guidelines, based on practical examples, on how data integration can be used to improve the measurement of immigration, emigration and net
migration;
(e) Development of guidelines on the production of metadata/documentation for integrated migration statistics;
(f) Description of good practices for improving communication between statistical agencies and the actual producers of administrative data related to migration.

Adjustments shown using less well-
known methods
Age misreporting
Age misreporting (45+)
New method(s) based on:
Basic statistic: cmRx(T1,T2) computed using two
censuses (at T1 and T2) and intercensal deaths
between T1 and T2
A standard pattern of age misreporting
Alternative techniques to estimate magnitude of
age misreporting
Statistic: cmRx(T1,T2)
From previous studies (Dechter-Preston, Del
Popolo, Preston-Condran-Himes) using (a) two
census at T1 and T2 and intercensal deaths in (T1,T2)
Behavior of key statistic cmRx(T1,T2) under
different conditions
Main problems:
Unequal census completeness leads to statistic’s
behavior that mimics age over(under)statement
Intercensal migration leads to statistic’s behavior
that mimic age over(under)statement
Conditions :
Adjusted for relative completeness of census enumeration
Closed to migration (or adjusted for it)
Age patterns and levels of age
misreporting Main idea:
Detect problem with statistic
Reconstruct true population (matrix)
Age pattern of age misreporting
Level of age misreporting
From previous studies
India (Bhat)
Latin America (Ortega)
US: Medicare records (Preston et al)
We use Costa Rica 2002 matching study (census-voting register) and estimate standard patterns of
Population age misreporting
Probability of over(under) stating age at age x
Conditional probability of over(under) stating age by 1-10 years given over(under) statement at age x
The above is referred to as “standard pattern of age misstatement”
Generates a “standard matrix” of population transfers across ages
Main results from Costa Rica study
Gender differences in age misreporting: marginal
Age differences in prob. of misreporting: large
Overstatement overwhelms under statement
Age patterns of age misreporting
Outcome
Matrix of net “age transfers” is a standard pattern
of age misreporting that we assume prevails in all
countries
Observed patterns produced by identical
standard but different levels of age misreporting (age specific probability of misreporting)
Standard death and population patterns of age
misreporting are identical
Strategy
Estimate model predicting prob of age net
overstatement as a function of age
Estimate negative binomial model for conditional probability of overestimation
Generate the Costa Rican standard of age net
overstatement
Allow shifts in levels of net overstatement: the shifts
or magnitude of age misreporting are estimated
from data
Identification conditions
We can estimate both LEVELS of net overstatement of ages at death and population
BUT:
Cannot identify simultaneously population over
and under statement, only net overstatement
Must assume age patterns of over (under)
statement of ages at death and population are
identical
Must assume that standard is appropriate for
observed population
METHODS TO ESTIMATE MAGNITUDE OF AGE
MISREPORTING DEATH AND POPULATION
Brute force iterative procedure :
plausible but time consuming
Inverse regression based on regression models
estimated in simulated population. (...) Our is a generalization
Main ingredients
5 population profiles (see Appendix 1 for definition)
Patterns of errors of census/death completeness
Patterns of age over-reporting
Age dependent completeness
Total of up to 94500 different simulated populations
Measurement of error of main parameter: relative completeness of death registration
Adult mortality adjustments
Relative completeness
Methods: Bennett Horiuchi, Bennet-Preston, Preston Hill, Brass-Hill,
Brass-Martin etc...A suite of 8-12 methods (depending on how
one counts them). (...) Estimate Bennet-Horiuchi
III.Adjust cmRx(T1,T2) function using (I)
IV Estimate lebvel of age misreporting using
optimal (regression based method)
V. Adjust mortality rates and construction life tables from age 5 on
Uncertainty
Evaluation study produces
Metapopulation====== error distributions of each
candidate method under different conditions
violating assumption
Can attach probability (of error) measure to each
candidate method
Can use them explicitly in estimation thus
generating bounds of uncertainty of target parameters
