Integration of administrative registers in a statistical system: A Swedish perspective

Abstract

This paper describes the Swedish Register System and the linkage between the different registers. It contains a few examples of register statistics where the links have been utilised and gives an overview of methodological problems. To meet our users' needs we must continue to improve the system, must achieve better linkage, greater consistency and better documentation. We must also develop a common methodology for the statistical work behind a system of statistical registers.
