Research and Statistics

Our Research and Statistics Program uses rigorous statistical methods to generate reliable, actionable information from data on displaced persons working in the informal economy. We also partner with official statisticians, government agencies, academic institutions, and development organizations at international, regional, and national levels, to ensure the program's research is accurate, credible, and informs effective policies and interventions.

Program Highlights:

Evidence-Based Research:
We apply both quantitative and qualitative statistical methods to collect and analyze data, providing insights into the challenges and dynamics faced by displaced informal workers.

Strategic Partnerships:
Through collaborations with statisticians, policymakers, researchers, and advocacy groups, we enhance the impact, relevance, and use of our data.

Accessible and Actionable Data:
Our findings are presented in user-friendly formats, making it easier for stakeholders to use the data for decision-making, policy development, and advocacy.

Promoting Awareness and Research:
We encourage researchers to use our data and promote evidence-based discussions that inform policies, programs, and social interventions for displaced informal workers.

Innovation and Adaptability:
By embracing new technologies and research methods, the program continuously improves the quality, relevance, and timeliness of its data.

Through a combination of statistical expertise, strong partnerships, and accessible research, the Research and Statistics Program equips stakeholders with the tools they need to better understand and support displaced informal workers.
