Classifications

Classifications are important for statistical analysis. By means of classifications corresponding variables or statistical units can be grouped, thereby facilitating the economic or social statistical analysis.

The Central Bureau of Statistics of Curaçao uses different economic and social classifications. These classifications are based on different international organisations like United Nations, International Labour Organisation etc. These classifications have been designed for compiling, presenting and analysing comparable statistics in individual countries and internationally. Where relevant these classifications have been adapted to the local situation.
