Summary
The past few years have seen several notable
developments of the official statistics in Korea.
The National Statistical Office (NSO), as a
central statistical agency, continues to respond
to new user requirements, improve the quality
of its statistics, implement new international
statistical standards, and adopt new Information
Technology.
To meet the growing demands of users, NSO has
developed new statistics: Investment Indicators,
Statistics on the Information and Communication
Industry, Statistics on Business Enterprises,
Environmental Indices and Human Resource Accounts.
NSO is also improving the quality of existing
statistics by reviewing and applying new methodologies
and conceptions: the Economically Active Population
Survey, the 2000 Population and Housing Census,
and others have been revised to increase accuracy.
NSO has expanded the application of IT in the
areas of statistical survey, data collection,
analysis and dissemination of statistical information.
NSO computerized the Enumeration District Maps
in the 1995 Population and Housing Census and
1996 Industry Census.
We are testing to adopt the new information
technology, called CAPI(Computer Assisted Personal
Interview) system, to the monthly survey of
the Economically Active Population Survey from
Oct. 1998.
Given the recent prevalence and improved ability
of PC's, we opened the NSO Homepage in 1996,
and provided CD-ROM titles as soon as possible
after publication of survey reports, such as
1995 Population and Housing Census Report, Annual
Report on Industrial Production Statistics,
Korea Statistical Yearbook, Statistical Map
by Administrative District, and OECD Statistics
in 1997.
To promote inter-agency data utilization and
to provide users with one-stop service for decentralized
statistics, we have planned to build a new system,
so called 'Total Information System on Statistics'.
This system is to connect NSO's Database with
other statistical agencies' via an on-line network.
This networked database will be available to
users in Aug. 1999.
Also, in order to deal with the Year 2000 problem,
all of the hardware equipment, fundamental software,
and applications in use were scrutinized as
of Oct. 1998. Most of them will be Y2K-compliant,
but NSO is going to test them continuously for
the hidden or unknown problems.
Finally, this report details the impact of
the Korean financial crisis on statistical services,
describing the downsizing of personnel and the
budget.

Brief Outline of the National
Statistical Office
The history of the National Statistical Office
(hereinafter abbreviated as NSO) dates back
to 1948 when the Bureau of Statistics was established
within the Office of Public Information.
The bureau-level statistical organization was
maintained up to the end of 1990. In January
1991, however, the Bureau of Statistics was
upgraded to the assistant ministerial level
and renamed as the NSO.
At that time, three bureaus and five divisions
were newly created at the headquarters. The
Statistical Training Center was also set up
to educate and train personnel engaged in statistical
activities in Korea.
At present, the NSO consists of four bureaus
comprising 18 divisions, the Statistical Training
Center with 2 divisions, 12 local branch offices
and 35 sub-local branch offices. A Director-General
who reports directly to the Commissioner heads
each of four bureaus along with the Statistical
Training Center.
In addition, there is a Statistical Council,
which is a consultative body to the Commissioner
of NSO on matters of statistical development.
The Council plays an important role in assisting
the NSO to accomplish its coordinating function
of national statistical activities. Under the
Council, six sub-committees are incorporated
to deal with special and technical matters of
statistics.
As of November 1998, the NSO has a staff of
1,772 personnel among whom 414 work for the
central office and 39 in the Statistical Training
Center. The remaining 1,319 persons, almost
two thirds of the total staff, work in the local
branch offices. An organizational chart of the
NSO is presented in the Appendix Table 1.
Statistical System in
Korea
1. Statistical Agencies
The Korean statistical system is in principle
decentralized in that each government agency
has the responsibility to collect its statistics
relating to its particular field. Hence, statistical
programs are managed and operated under the
authority of separate government departments.
The statistical agencies in Korea can be broadly
classified into central government agencies,
local government agencies and non-governmental
agencies.
The 5 central government agencies which have
a division level or higher are as follows: the
NSO, the Ministry of Agriculture & Forestry,
the Ministry of Health & Welfare, the Ministry
of Labor, and the Ministry of Environment. Under
each of 16 local governments, the statistics
and computer systems office (division level)
plays a role to perform the statistical activities.
The local governments are to support the field
operation for data collection in various censuses
and large-scale surveys conducted by the central
governmental agencies. In addition, each local
government produces the statistics for its own
use through carrying out surveys, compiling
the administrative records, and publishing the
provincial statistical yearbooks. Non-governmental
agencies such as the Bank of Korea, the Korea
Development Bank, the Korea Institute for Health
and Social Affairs, etc., are in charge of conducting
surveys and compiling statistics.
The NSO, the central statistical agency, mostly
produces fundamental official statistics. The
NSO also has the responsibility for integrating
and coordinating the statistical activities
of the various agencies concerned.
As of November 1998, the total number of organizations
involved in the compilation of official statistics
in Korea is 103. Among them, 25 are central
government departments, 16 provincial government
departments and 62 non-government organizations.
Together, these organizations produce a total
of 387 official statistics under the authority
of the Statistics Law. Among them, 184 kinds
were compiled based on the statistical censuses
and surveys, 169 on the administrative records,
and 34 were processed.
2. Regional Statistical
Activities
In Korea, some statistical agencies of the
central government have their own regional branches
to collect data.
NSO has 12 local branches and 35 sub-local
branches. In those branches, 1,319 people are
working as of November 1998.
The Ministry of Agriculture & Forestry
has 9 local branches and 80 sub-local branches,
with 1,208 personnel.
Meanwhile, looking into the organization of
local governments, it shows that each province
has a statistics section. The number of staff
in the statistics section of each province is
6.3 on an average as of November 1998.
Statistical Activities of the NSO 1. New Directions
of Statistical Administration
To meet fast-changing circumstances, the NSO
is taking new directions of statistical administration
as follows:
- to develop new statistics
for increasingly diversified statistical needs
- to improve the quality
of statistics
- to produce and provide
statistics economically
- to deliver the statistical
results faster and more conveniently for users
- to produce user-oriented
statistics
- to produce statistics
that meet international requirements.
2. Development of New
Statistics
To meet the growing demands of users for data
and analysis, NSO has developed new statistics
as follows:
2.1 Investment Indicators
The statistics on construction investment and
equipment investment are compiled based on the
order-received surveys. And these statistics
are used as leading investment indicators.
It is found, however, that the data do not
always accurately portray the actual amount
of investment due to a variety of changing circumstances.
Thus, the NSO developed at the end of 1997 new
indicators calculated on the basis of actual
delivery of orders received to show a more accurate
trend of investment. Those two new indicators
on construction and equipment investment were
released from January 1998.
2.2 Statistics on Information
and Communication Industry
Responding to a widespread information revolution,
the activities of the information and communication
industry have been demonstrating an increasing
complexity. Furthermore, current statistics
on information and communication are produced
by many different agencies and thus are not
easily accessible.
For example, statistics on production of computer
hardware are shown in the Mining and Manufacturing
Survey. Statistics on computer software are
in the Service Industry Survey and statistics
on the construction of telecommunication facilities
are in the Construction Work Survey. Moreover,
statistics on telecommunication services have
not yet been compiled officially in Korea. To
solve this problem, the NSO is now developing
synthetic statistics in the field of the information
and telecommunication industry in cooperation
with the Ministry of Information and Communication.
The final report will be published in December
1998.
2.3 Statistics on Business
Enterprises
The existing surveys measuring business activities
are conducted with the establishment unit. Therefore,
they are not enough to grasp the range of activities
of business enterprises. Thus, it is planned
to carry out a survey on the basis of the enterprise.
2.4 Environmental Indices
With current thrust on environmental concerns,
the dearth of environmental statistics becomes
more evident. At present, several agencies are
involved in collecting data as a part of their
regular works.
The NSO, in collaboration with the related
agencies, will develop environmental indices.
These can provide the users with information
concerning environmental degradation such as
air, water and noise pollution, and the generation
of wastes.
2.5 Human Resource Accounts
Human Resource Accounts (HRA) is one of the
satellite accounts of the 1993 System of National
Accounts (SNA). It integrates economic and socio-demographic
accounts for households. HRA preparation in
Korea, which was launched by the joint work
between the NSO and the UNSD, is a pioneering
task being the first of its kind in the world.
The objective of this project is to extend the
framework of HRA to Korean economy and consequently
to compile human resource accounts for Korea
(KORHRA) from 1990 to 1995.
KORHRA links the economic analysis of the
SNA with those of other fields where economic
activities have an impact on such as social
and demographic concerns. The present KORHRA
is designed for socio-economic studies of education.
This design is intended to measure the effectiveness
of government policies aimed at improving the
educational quality of population, and to determine
the impacts of such policies on the level and
quality of employment. At a later stage, it
may be further refined for use in studies dealing
with other social issues such as health, poverty,
etc..
The result will be available as an example
for other countries to follow in improving national
accounts of their own. The difficulties experienced
and the solutions created to overcome those
difficulties should be of considerable interests
to other countries developing their own HRAs.
3. Activities Improving
the Quality of Existing Statistics
The NSO is in the process of improving the
quality of existing statistics by reviewing
and applying new methodological and conceptual
aspects of statistical compilation in the following
fields:
3.1 Economically Active
Population Survey
Since 1995, the NSO has been reviewing for
possible revision of the Economically Active
Population Survey (EAPS) questionnaire in order
to meet internal and external needs. Internally,
the Korean labour market has been more complicated
due to socio-economic changes for the past 15
years, when the NSO adopted the ILO standards.
Externally, Korean government has been requested
to provide an unemployment rate based on the
OECD standard. The job search period of the
unemployed in the ILO standards is one week
while it is 4 weeks in the OECD. To meet the
request, EAPS questionnaire has to be revised.
The NSO has made a committee formed with several
labour-economists and government officials to
go over these matters. In 1996, the committee
published a report with several suggestions
and recommendations on issues and directions
for the EAPS revisions.
Some pilot surveys were conducted in 1997,
and the revised questionnaire was used from
January 1998.
3.2 Seasonal Adjustment
In order to obtain more accurate trend estimates
in the monthly time-series data, NSO is in the
process of reviewing methodological aspects
for seasonal adjustment.
The directions NSO is considering are as follows
: developing a new model to replace the existing
model developed in 1987, making an adjustment
possible for the effect of small labor strikes,
and disaggregating the effects of New Year's
Day (1 Jan. in the lunar calendar) and Full
Moon's Day (15 Aug. in the lunar calendar).
At present, the effects of those days are adjusted
according to the average of the past ones.
3.3 Composite Indices
of Business Indicators
Some components for the compilation of composite
indices were recently substituted in order to
cope quickly with the business movements.
For the Leading Composite Index, indicators
excluded, added or substituted are as follows:
excluded (import licenses issued, loans of deposit
money banks), added (import of natural resources
for exports, producers' shipment index on durable
consumer goods), substituted (ratio of inventory
to shipment index circulatory indicator of inventory
to shipment)
3.4 2000 Population and
Housing Census
The census taking in Korea has been confronted
with several difficulties such as costs, workload
of local government, recruitment of enumerators,
etc.. The census cost is very serious to the
NSO because it is expected to reach around 100
billion Won, which is almost twice as much as
that for the 1995 census. Therefore, we have
to think over various ways to reduce increasing
costs for the year 2000 census in Korea.
The census is conducted through various stages
and long procedures. All of these steps can
be considered in efficient ways. Strategies
for conducting the census in a cost-effective
manner are as follows:
NSO is carefully reviewing to adopt a self-enumeration
method in principle instead of the traditional
face-to-face method by temporary enumerators.
NSO is also examining to replace the IT for
data capturing from OMR to OCR system.
4. Application of Information
Technology
4.1 Overview
Rapid development in information technology
changes all aspects of human life. Also, it
has significant effects on many NSO's works.
That is application of IT in the area of statistical
survey, data collection, data analysis, and
dissemination of statistical information.
Viewed in this light, several major innovations
made on the application of information technology
to various statistical works will be described
as follow:
4.2 Innovations on Applications
to NSO's works
4.2.1 Multi-Platforms in Use
The NSO is establishing a multi-platform infrastructure
on which the general-purpose mainframe IBM-9672
computer, several Samsung-TICOM Unix computers,
and thousands of PCs support each process of
the statistical works.
The mainframe computer system and several Unix
machines are accessible to the IT staffs in
every office at headquarters through the LAN
backbone, and to the field enumerators in their
47 local offices via the Public Networks.
We also have special workstations for GIS (Geographical
Information System) on which we computerized
the Enumeration District Map all over the country
for conducting surveys, such as the 1995 Population
and Housing Census and 1996 Industry Census.
4.2.2 Applications developments in statistical
works
With the powerful equipment, there have been
many kinds of application developments in information
technology. It changed the style of traditional
activities of the statistical work at NSO.
Current applications of information technology
in each process of statistical work are summarized
in Table 1.

Details related to the information technology
in each process of statistical works are to
be discussed as follows.
A. Survey assisted by
the GIS
To establish the EDs (Enumeration Districts)
for the 1995 Population and Housing Census by
computer, the NSO borrowed whole-country basemaps
from the National Geographic Institute and boundary
maps of the EDs from local governments, then
scanned them into the Census Mapping System
Database. After delineating the EDs on the map
through GIS computer, the NSO was able to provide
as many ED Maps as needed for conducting the
Census. The style of maps used has been raster
type with scanned images, and it was applied
to the 1996 Industry Census.
B. Data collection through
organization-wide networks
Since 1992, field enumerators have inputted
monthly survey data such as the Economically
Active Population Survey, the Household Income
and Expenditure Survey, and the Mining and Manufacturing
Industry Survey, using their own PC's at the
47 local and sub-local branches. NSO has tested
to apply the new information technology, called
the CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview)
system, to the monthly survey of Economically
Active Population whose sampling units are 35,000
households since Oct. 1998. After diagnosing
the problems caused by conducting surveys with
notebook computers instead of paper, we are
going to apply the CAPI system to the other
surveys.
For the monthly industry surveys, large industry
companies will begin to send their answers to
the NSO directly through the network. The NSO
will distribute ready-made programs to industry
companies. This means that collecting data of
industrial activities will be faster than before.
To process huge data records of the Population
and Housing Census, about 50 million population
records and 12 million housing records, the
NSO introduced three OMRs 1990. Breaking the
conventional key-entry method, the information
is put in computer storage. Compared with conventional
method, this method shortened the census-processing
durations from 21 months to 12 months. It also
improved the accuracy of census results.
For upcoming 2000 Population and Housing Census,
NSO is carefully examining to replace the IT
for capturing census data from OMR to OCR system.
C. Large volume of statistical
tabulation
After all the data is accumulated at headquarters,
we compile and tabulate this large volume of
data with the IBM9672. It is equipped with high-speed
processors and printers, and in-house programs
with efficient summarizing and tabulating algorithms.
Apart from the application programs running
in main-frame computer, there are also hundreds
of end-user programs which use a typical statistical
package; SAS, SPSS and Spreedsheet in PCs
D. Statistical Information
Dissemination via Internet
In 1991, the NSO started operating an on-line
statistical database system, which is called
KOSIS (Korea Statistical Information System)
for public services through networks of National
Administration's Total Information System (NATIS)
and other Valued Added Networks (VANs).
Given the recent prevalence and improved ability
of PC's, we opened the NSO Homepage in 1996,
and provided CD-ROM titles as soon as possible
after publication of survey reports. In addition
to this homepage, NSO's statistical databases
have been opened to netizens by 'telnet' mode
since Mar. 1998
To promote inter-agency data utilization and
to provide users with one-stop service for decentralized
statistics, we have planned to build a new system,
so called the 'Total Information System on Statistics'.
This system is to connect NSO's Database with
other statistical agencies' via an on-line network.
This networked database will be available to
users in Aug. 1999.
4.3 Progress of Y2K compliance
with NSO computer systems
Decades ago, it was the world's practice to
allocate 2-digit data fields for storing date
data in the computer system. This will cause
to crash on Jan. 1, 2000.
As of Oct. 1998, we have scrutinized all of
the hardware equipment, fundamental software,
and applications. The result is that most of
them will be Y2K-compliant. Table 2 is brief
summary of Y2K-compliance for NSO's major systems.

5. Developing Closer Links
with Users
It is important for NSO, as the central statistical
agency, to obtain credibility and public confidence
in statistical data. In this context, NSO is
trying to strengthen links between statistics
producers and users as follows:
The activities are to have meetings of the
Statistical Council, Special Committees and
working-groups more frequently, to hold seminars
on special subjects or on statistical developments
often in conjunction with statistical societies
and/or research institutes, to give lectures
to reporters as well as to teachers in primary
schools. (Such lectures have been found to be
very useful in helping them understand the importance
of statistics).
Since 1995, NSO has commemorated the ceremony
of Statistics Day on Sep. 1st. The
fourth commemoration ceremony was held in Sep.
1998. At that time, interviewees were awarded
prizes for responding sincerely on surveys,
and a symposium was held on the results of the
National Family Income and Expenditure Survey
6. Strengthening International
Statistical Cooperation
The NSO places considerable importance on its
international relations, and it participates
extensively in international statistical activities.
Its staff keeps abreast of the new statistical
techniques and developments through contact
with other leading national statistical agencies.
The NSO is also committed to sharing its knowledge
and experiences with overseas visitors.
Importance is also placed on ensuring that
Korea's statistics are internationally comparable
through compliance with standards set by such
bodies as UN, IMF, ILO and OECD.
The NSO has maintained bilateral exchange and
cooperation programs with the Statistics Bureau
of Japan, the State Statistical Bureau of China,
and the Federal Statistical Germany. In addition,
NSO has received statistical missions and study
groups from international agencies and other
countries.
The NSO will hold the Seminal on Human Resource
Accounts December from 8 to 10, 1998, in Seoul,
Korea, with UNSD.
The Seminar on the Information Technology will
be held December from 15 to 18, 1998, in Taejon,
Korea, with ESCAP.
The NSO will host the 53rd Session of ISI during
August 22-30, 2001, in Seoul, Korea.
The Impact of the Korean
Financial Crisis on the Statistical Services
1. Introduction
The Korean economy has enjoyed high growth
prior to the currency crisis. It achieved 8~9
percents growth and the per capita income reached
over US 10 thousand dollars. It was the 11th
largest economy in terms of trade volumn in
the world. However, the economy could not resolve
the currency crisis and the Korean government
had to resort to financial support from the
IMF in November 1997. The internal and external
causes of the crisis are as follows:
- other Southeast Asian
current crisis,
- bankrupt of a large number
of corporations in Korea,
- short term foreign debt
in Korea,
- attempt to defend the
won with its foreign currency reserves, etc..
Even though the crisis was originated in monetary
difficulties, it affected all the socio-economic
areas as well as statistical services. This
report describes the downsizing of statistical
personnel and budget.
2. Statistical personnel
The Korean government is reforming the public
sector, and downsizing government organizations.
The Government Administration Reform Committee
drew a government restructuring scheme which
aimed at promoting a small but efficient government.
Thus, a revised Government Organization Act
was enacted, reflecting the final version of
the Committee that went into effect Feb. 28th,
1998.
The main contents of the program are as follows:
- The number of Cabinet
ministries decreased from 21 to 17 while the
number of minister's level officials dropped
from 33 to 24.
- The civil service will
be downsized by 10.9% of the current total
of 161,855 public servants over 3 years from
1998 to 2000.
Fortunately, the National Statistical Office
is not significantly affected in personnel and
budget, compared to other government offices.
The curtailment of NSO's personnel is shown
to be 29 persons, which represents 2.2% of total
members at the beginning of 1998. On the contrary,
the NSO's function has been expanded to cover
9 additional agricultural and fishery statistics,
taking over 500 persons from the Ministry of
Agriculture & Forest (MOAF)(430 persons)
and the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries
(MOMAF)(70 persons) as of 1 July 1998. Therefore,
we can say that the function of the National
Statistical Office as the central statistical
organization has become strengthened.
In the case of local governments, the impact
is more severe. The number of public servants
in local governments will be cut by 12.1% from
the current total of 290,205 this year.

The recent statistical environment has deteriorated
since the onset of the crisis. Respondents are
reluctant to answer statistical inquires. As
some of them are unemployed or bankrupt, it
is not easy to get cooperation from them. Furthermore,
the statistics are required to be more accurate,
diversified and timely.
The local governments squeeze the statistical
departments and the manpower for statistics
to downsize the organization and the personnel.
This will affect the quality of the statistical
work compiled by the local governments.
3. Budget
The Supplementary 1998 Budget was made to
reflect the situation of the financial crisis.
The Supplementary Budget showed a decrease of
2.3 percent compared to that of the original
budget.
The NSO's Supplementary Budget for 1998 was
cut down by 8.2% compared to that of the original
budget. The expenses for overseas travel were
cut by 47.1 percent, reflecting the shortage
of foreign reserves and a high exchange rate.
Although there is no significant effect in
personnel, the impact of the crisis on NSO's
statistical budget is found to be above the
average of other sectors of the government.
