Bureau fédéral de la statistique


Book Description

Le Bureau fédéral de la statistique a balisé l'évolution du Canada d'une économie de base à une puissance industrielle adulte, au seuil de l'ère de l'information. Tout au long de cette évolution, la nécessité d'obtenir des informations a progressé à la fois en quantité et en complexité alors même que les techniques destinées à recueillir, dépouiller, analyser et divulguer ces informations subissaient de profondes transformations. David A. Worton se penche sur la manière dont le système statistique canadien a fait face à ces profonds changements et décrit les importantes contributions que le Canada a apportées à la statistique et à sa production.
