perusväestötiedot

Perusväestötiedot, or basic population data, refers to the fundamental information collected and maintained by national statistical agencies and other governmental bodies about the residents of a country. This data is crucial for understanding the demographic structure and trends within a population. In Finland, perusväestötiedot is managed by the Digital and Population Data Services Agency, which is responsible for maintaining the Population Information System.

The basic population data typically includes essential details such as an individual's name, personal identity code, date of birth, gender, place of birth, citizenship, and marital status. Additionally, it may encompass information about an individual's place of residence, family relationships, and any changes in these details over time. This data is used for various administrative, statistical, and research purposes, ensuring that government services, policies, and planning are informed by accurate and up-to-date demographic information.

The collection and management of perusväestötiedot are governed by specific legal frameworks to ensure data privacy and security. In Finland, the Population Information Act and the Personal Data Act provide the legal basis for the collection, storage, and use of this information. These laws aim to protect individuals' privacy while enabling the efficient functioning of public services and the conduct of official statistics.

Perusväestötiedot plays a vital role in demographic research, public health planning, social services, and economic development. By providing a comprehensive overview of the population, it helps policymakers, researchers, and service providers make informed decisions that benefit society as a whole.
