Estimating the completeness of birth and death registration in Ecuador

Between August and October 2018, José Andrade, from the Vital Statistics Department of the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INEC) in Ecuador, came to the University of Melbourne to receive support in calculating the completeness of birth and death registration in Ecuador. His fellowship involved using surveys, censuses, and population projections to do so. This CRVS fellowship profile documents José’s experiences whilst at Melbourne, including what he worked on, what he learned, and what impact this might have on improving the quality of vital statistics in Ecuador.
