We invite all women to participate in the survey: housewives, employees in the public and private sectors, businesswomen, those who have their own businesses or work for themselves to earn an income, and all women in general.

This questionnaire is a collaborative effort between the Office of the Women's Attorney (OPM) and the Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics, with the purpose of better identifying the needs and challenges of working women and, based on empirical evidence, promoting possible solutions in the short, medium and long term.

By answering this questionnaire you will be helping us to improve the quality of life of working women and our society in general!

AUTHORIZED STATEMENTS BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE INSTITUTE OF STATISTICS REGARDING THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNIVERSITY OF PUERTO RICO AND GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY REGARDING THE STATISTICS OF DEATHS RELATED TO HURRICANES IRMA AND MARIA

Today, we welcomed with great joy the formalization of an agreement between the University of Puerto Rico and George Washington University for the purpose of studying the deaths associated with hurricanes Irma and María.

We have learned that a group of researchers from George Washington University will collaborate in this project, and a group of researchers from the University of Puerto Rico, a public entity that is part of and belongs to the Government of Puerto Rico. We think it's excellent that the research team includes not only experts from outside Puerto Rico, but also people with local knowledge and expertise.

On behalf of the Institute of Statistics, we take this opportunity to make available to researchers from both educational entities our expertise and experience with the Death Registration System of the Government of Puerto Rico. As is public knowledge, the Institute of Statistics has worked with the System in the past and, thanks to our intervention, problems were identified and corrected by the Demographic Registry in accounting for deaths and classification of related causes. Our findings resulted in improvements in the quality of these statistics that have been recognized by the American Statistical Association.
