Event: ONS Changes to Mid Year Estimates – Adding it all up.
The British Society for Population Studies (BSPS) are holding two workshops regarding the ONS Changes to Mid Year Estimates. One event is at the University of Leeds, and one is at the Local Government Association (LGA) in London. The workshops will take place in Leeds on the 7th of January and in London on the 11th of January 2010.
The meetings will be looking at the revisions proposed by ONS to the Mid Year Estimate series from Mid 2002 to Mid 2008. The latest changes revise methodology for the distribution of International migrants between local areas and include new data on Students to enhance moves within the UK. These meetings will give Local Authorities the chance to compare findings, assess the changes and receive some feedback from the ONS IMPS team.
The programme for both events are available at the bottom of this post. If you would like to contribute to the events by giving a short (10 minute) presentation as part of Session 2, and get instant feedback from the ONS IMPS team, please let the BSPS Secretariat know when you register for the event.
To register please email pic@lse.ac.uk and indicate which venue you will be attending and whether you would like to do a short presentation.
