They request collaboration to complete a survey on parenting experiences

ESCAPE and the Puerto Rico Statistics Institute join efforts to develop the First Survey on the Parenting Experience in Puerto Rico

San Juan, Puerto Rico — February 27, 2025. ESCAPE, Center for Family Strengthening, in collaboration with the Puerto Rico Statistics Institute (Institute), are developing the Survey on the Parenting Experience in Puerto Rico. This initiative seeks to gather valuable information about the experiences of mothers, fathers and guardians (people who are responsible for the upbringing of children) with the objective of strengthening efforts for the prevention of child abuse and developing more effective programs to serve families according to their needs

The executive director of ESCAPE, Yadira Pizarro Quiles, requested citizen collaboration by completing and sharing a survey and highlighted the importance of this tool for designing more precise, relevant and relevant intervention strategies. “Every family in Puerto Rico faces unique challenges, and with this survey we will be able to better understand their realities. The data collected will allow us to evaluate existing programs and develop more effective initiatives to support parents and caregivers in parenting, thus strengthening efforts to prevent child abuse,” said Pizarro.

Participation in the Puerto Rico Parenting Experience Survey is completely voluntary and is intended for those who are responsible for raising one or more children under 18 years of age in Puerto Rico. The questionnaire, which lasts approximately 20 to 30 minutes, guarantees the confidentiality of the answers, which will be anonymous and securely stored by the Institute.

The questionnaire is structured in seven sections: Sociodemographic data of the child, Experiences and Expectations, Discipline and Communication, Technology and Quality Time, Support Needs and Future, Socio-Demographic Data on the Respondent and a Closure and Feedback.

The executive director of the Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics, Dr. Orville M. Disdier, highlighted the value of data and statistics in the formulation of prevention strategies. “Access to up-to-date and reliable information is key to making informed decisions. With this survey, we will be able to generate data that will not only help us better understand the dynamics of parenting in Puerto Rico, but also serve as a basis for the creation of public policies that reinforce the protection and well-being of children. That's why it's important to have the support of all sectors helping to share and complete this survey,” he said.

The survey can be accessed at the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/crianzamenores

New system improves speed and effectiveness when answering questions from citizens about statistical data

Press Release

New system improves speed and effectiveness when answering

Questions from citizens about statistical data

In order to automate and improve the speed and effectiveness of the processes for answering citizens' questions on statistical issues, the Statistics Institute of Puerto Rico developed a new version of the system for answering questions. This new procedure allows managers and assistants of the Institute to see in real time the questions sent by citizens and to speed up the way they answer those questions. Through the tool of Google Analytics, the system allows us to know important aspects such as: demographic data, geographical data, if the user used a computer or a cell phone, the browser or Browser used, the company of Internet, among others.

“Using this new system, we will better know how long it took us to answer questions, what topics are most common among citizens and what resources were required to answer them. In addition, the tool makes it possible to generate quality control metrics, allowing the Institute to streamline processes, make better use of time, human resources and, consequently, public funds,” said Dr. Orville M. Disdier, acting executive director of the Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics.

To use the new question system, people can send an email to preguntas@estadisticas.pr or access the link directly https://www.estadisticas.pr.gov/

Data collection for Puerto Rico's 2017 Economic Census begins. Statistics Institute urges companies to complete the Economic Census questionnaire on or before June 12.

PRESS RELEASE
RED STATE DATA CENTER OF PUERTO RICO

Data collection begins for Puerto Rico's 2017 Economic Census

Statistics Institute urges companies to complete the Economic Census questionnaire on or before June 12

San Juan, PR, June 6, 2018 — The 2017 Economic Census of Puerto Rico, the main source of data on the structure and functioning of the country's economy, has already begun in Puerto Rico with the sending of questionnaires by post to companies, which will have until June 12 to fill it out.

This was reported by the Puerto Rico Statistics Institute (Institute), representative and coordinator of the activities of the U.S. Census Bureau in Puerto Rico, while urging business owners to complete the questionnaire online (https://portal.census.gov), as soon as possible, to ensure timely compliance, required by federal law.

Specifically, this time, the questionnaire sent by post includes instructions and a unique code that participants can use to complete it online. That way, respondents can complete it securely. Companies also have the option of filling out the printed questionnaire that was included in the mailing. If you have any questions or need assistance completing the questionnaire, companies can call 1-888-872-8390, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The mailing of Puerto Rico's 2017 Economic Census questionnaires began in early May. Title 13 of the United States Code requires each company to complete the questionnaire. The answers are confidential. By law, the U.S. Census Bureau you have a duty to keep information private and secure. Federal law protects the responses of all companies and ensures that data can only be used for statistical purposes.

“Puerto Rico's 2017 Economic Census is already taking place. Companies should have already started receiving the questionnaire by post. For the first time, a mechanism will be offered to complete the Economic Census by electronic means. The collaboration of all companies with this Census is extremely important, because it is expected that this will be the first Economic Census to be used for the purpose of preparing the gross product statistics of Puerto Rico's economy,” said Dr. Mario Marazzi-Santiago, executive director of the Institute.

The results of Puerto Rico's 2017 Economic Census will be available in December 2020 and will include aggregated information at the industrial and municipal levels on the number of establishments, revenues, sales, payroll, number of employees, goods and services produced, and other topics specific to each industry. For the previous results of the Economic Census, visit the following link: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/economic-census/about/island-areas.html.

El U.S. Census Bureau measures the population of Puerto Rico once every 10 years. In addition, every 5 years, it conducts the Puerto Rico Economic Census. This Census is used by trade associations, economic development agencies, governments and individual companies for business decision-making and public policy formulation. In addition, as recommended by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) to the Government of Puerto Rico, this should be used as a reference when estimating statistics on the gross product of the economy, which is expected to be achieved for the first time with the 2017 Economic Census.

The Puerto Rico Statistics Institute is an autonomous governmental entity responsible for coordinating the Government's statistical production service to ensure that the data collection and statistics systems, on which public policies are based, are complete, reliable, and have quick and universal access. The Institute has in its inventory, accessible through www.estadisticas.pr.gov, about 300 statistical products. In addition, it is a custodian and provides access to over 100 data sets or “data sets” through www.data.pr.gov and to over 40 tables and more than 6 thousand indicators through: www.indicadores.pr.
