Ukraine - Abstract
- Statistics has accompanied the social forms of human civilization since its inception, reflecting also conflicts and wars. Statistics acts as a beacon, especially in turbulent times, capturing the most important aspects of reality, while helping decision-makers navigate key choices in the face of adversity of a radically changing situation. To this end, statisticians of a war-affected country make every effort by adapting the way statistics work to overcome methodological and organizational obstacles in everyday professional work, including innovative development of research instruments to substitute the destroyed or unavailable ones. Historical records indicate that the first statistical tables began to appear in Sumer, Egypt, ancient China, Babylon, and Assyria. Statistics continues its role with increasing scope and importance through centuries, with especially hard time during the Second World War, when conducting statistical research was prohibited in the German-occupied countries. Currently, we are witnessing how Ukraine gives examples of heroism also in the sphere of official statistics, striving to fulfill its mission of constantly informing state institutions and society despite the extraordinary wartime challenges.
