80. Recalling the international expert Workshop on Data Collection and
Disaggregation for Indigenous Peoples (see E/C.19/2004/2, for the report thereon),
the Forum welcomes the collaboration with the United Nations Statistics Division in
reviewing national practices in data collection and dissemination in the areas of
ethnicity, language and religion and looks forward to the Demographic Yearbook
special topic which will include data and analysis relevant to indigenous peoples.
The Forum is also pleased to note that data on national and/or ethnic groups are
being made available online by the Statistics Division at the following website:
http://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic/products/dyb/dybcens.htm
In light of this work, as well as the 2010 World Population and Housing Census
Programme, the Forum supports the Statistics Division in:
(a) Continuing its work in reviewing national practices in data collection and
dissemination on issues relevant to indigenous peoples;
(b) Considering the extent to which the revision of the Principles and
Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses can further address
national and international data needs by facilitating the collection of data on
indigenous peoples;
(c) Continuing to follow the recommendations of the international expert
Workshop on Data Collection and Disaggregation for Indigenous Peoples;
(d) Strengthening
dissemination efforts.
