Surveys and data collections

Statistics Finland collects data for the compilation of statistics with inquiries and data collections.

However, we only ask for data when they are not available from existing public administration registers. 

By participating in our inquiries and responding to our data collections you help us produce high-quality statistics to support decision-making, research and social debate.
