The Statistics Act, fully enforced in April 2009 (Act No. 53 of 2007, hereinafter referred to as the "Statistics Act"), placed statistics as the foundation of information for society and established a system to promote the effective use of statistical data.
An amendment to the Statistics Act was enforced in May 2019, and the use of services offering official statistical micro data became more widespread.
The Research Centre for Information and Statistics of Social Science at the Institute of Economic Research, Hitotsubashi University, in collaboration with the National Statistics Center, will promote the provision of official statistical anonymized data for researchers and others conducting academic research.
*Please refer to the National Statistics Center website regarding collaboration with the National Statistics Center and secondary use of official statistical data.
As representatives may be engaged in other business and unavailable at times, please be sure to make an appointment by email in advance of making a visit.
In particular, return of anonymized data in person cannot be processed without an appointment made in advance. (As it violates the terms of use and other conditions, please refrain from handing anonymized data for return to another staff member and requesting it be passed on to the person in charge. ) We apologize for the inconvenience but appreciate the cooperation of all including those within the university.
