Methodology

Rates

The Official Statistics Programme, based on the Statistics Law of Turkey No 5429, is prepared for a 5-year-period in order to determine the basic principles and standards dealing with the production and dissemination of official statistics and to produce reliable, timely, transparent and impartial data required at national and international level. A programmed period for the Turkish Statistics System has been launched with The Official Statistics Programme 2007-2011. The second Official Statistics Programme covers the period 2012-2016.

This Programme will enable to prevent repetitions in the production and dissemination of official statistics, decrease the burden on respondents, save on labour force and resources and enhance the confidence on official statistics. Furthermore, official statistics are standardized, responsible and related institutions are defined, data compilation methodology and the publication periodicity/schedule of official statistics are specified.

It is compulsory to declare the birth event to the related district population directorate by parents in one month after delivery. These birth events declared are registered to the family ledger and MERNIS data base.

The information related to death events occurring in province and district centers are gathered through Health Directorates in provinces and Health Centers in districts.

Death: Death is the permanent disappearance of all evidence of life at any time after live birth has taken place.
