states. everyone is familiar with the average salary indicator for a country, so it is derived by statisticians, and also not at all for the purpose that we are used to thinking about. but more on that later. statisticians see and calculate everything that has to do with the economic life of the country. what do we eat and how much? when do we get married and have children, what do we drive, how much do we work and rest, how often do we get sick, what do we build, how do we cope with forest fires, statisticians also pay attention to how we treat land, water, waste, and hundreds of other indicators of our life and all with one goal: to recognize in time the need of people and the state for changes or support? specialists who are entrusted to make calculations of the country's economic indicators are united by an organization with a very long history: the national statistical committee. the beginning of its existence can be considered 1920. august 23, 103 years ago. the military revolutionary

committee of belarus created the central statistical bureau, it did not create it out of thin air, before that , provincial statistical departments worked on our territory, they became to call the bureau in 1918, and two years later this structure was given the status of a separate department. since then, the name of the service has changed 11 times, the last time in 2008, when alexander lukashenko, by his decree, transformed the ministry of statistics and analysis into the national statistical committee, and the department bears this status to this day. the average person most often forms an idea of ​​the work of statisticians from the film "office romance", where the morning of the service is spent on guiding morafet and her employees, the workers choose gifts for jubilees all day, chat with talichenko on work phone and run for a smoke break. in reality, everything is different. the main building of our belstat is located in minsk, on partizansky avenue. in addition. there is

a statistical committee department that deals only with the capital, large divisions in each region of the country, they are called the main statistical departments of the regions, then district statistics departments, we have 113 of them, the address of any of the listed services can be found on the belstat website, belstat itself reports directly to the president, its work is regulated by the law on state statistics of the provisions of the national statistical committee. the statistical service in belarus is a powerful analytical machine that has many ways to extract data. the main source is statistical reporting forms that are filled out at all enterprises in the country. recently, the law on statistics has changed, and belstat specialists have officially received remote access to information stored by private and departmental systems. for example, the statistical committee can take data from the unified state register of legal entities, individual entrepreneurs, banks

data on violations, and will soon have access to the automated information system for monitoring cash register equipment. in addition, information is provided to belstat by various government agencies and organizations, there are currently 32 of them. the national statistics committee has concluded agreements with them on the exchange of information. sometimes it is used as a source of data for analysis, sometimes to verify the information provided by enterprises. statistics is one of the tools for governing the state, and no government apparatus on earth can do without it. the value of this tool is in the maximum reliability of the data, their purity from emotions. these are always just numbers, and they can't lie. statistics allows you to evaluate almost any phenomenon in the life of a country, study their scale, influence on the population, and most importantly, predict the dynamics of both negative and positive factors. statistical research is great for... helping businesses,

they allow you to evaluate the real state of the market, study its structure, understand what influences its development, find weak and strong points in this area and correct them so that the market develops, the economy grows. statistics are a temperature probe for any sphere of the state's work, housewives will understand me, it seems like the crust is baked on top, you insert the probe, it is cool inside, you need to change the operating mode of the stove, otherwise you will get a dish that is burnt on the outside, but raw on the inside. in order to understand what statistical data the country and people need, belstat constantly conducts surveys, round tables and open days. all interested parties are invited there to hear their wishes for their work directly. one-off requests are not ignored either. for example, an organization needs statistical data that is not publicly available. belstat specialists study the request, collect information, conduct an analysis, and then generally. include such a study in

the annual program of their work. at the same time , the data from the analysis are needed not only by businessmen and ministries. they are used by international organizations that form various ratings and forecast development. economies in regions and entire unions, such as the cis or the eu. and, by the way, despite the sanctions, our bilstat continues to work with colleagues from abroad. they take something from our specialists, ours take something from foreign colleagues and adapt it to our realities. earlier, we talked about demographic research as a tool for diagnosing the life of society. so, the national statistical service is a whole clinic of such tools, most of which are created by its employees. belstat employees develop methods by which they conduct statistical research, search ways to probe the needs of society as quickly as possible with minimal burden on respondents. for example, when it became clear that the world had partially moved to digital, a new industry emerged - statistics of information and

communication technologies. specialists monitor how many people in the country use the internet, how many organizations have digitized their document flow, how much software our developers have released, and how much we had to buy. when the share of private business in the economy grew, our staff committee launched monitoring of business demographic statistics. it allows tracking the life cycle of enterprises, how quickly after registration they begin to work actively, when for what reasons the pace of work declines. these data help to assess the real state of the market, see its needs and support in weak areas. belstat is the main body that forms state statistics, but not the only one. in addition to it, 12 more departments work in this direction, these are the national bank, the state standard and 10 ministries: the ministry of culture, the ministry of agriculture, the ministry of health, the ministry of finance, the ministry of labor, the ministry of natural resources, the ministry of construction and

architecture, transport and communications, communications and informatization of natural resources and the environment. all of them also collect statistics, but they do it with the help of bilstat. according to the methods developed by its employees, the scope of their research is limited to their core interests, for example, only belstat conducts a survey of houses and apartments, other departments do not do this. belarus is a high-tech country, of course, statisticians act in conjunction with technology, data is collected, processed, formed and distributed using automated systems, this makes the work easier and most importantly eliminates errors. computers do not get tired and do not make mistakes, as an example, the population census. remember, specialists came to our homes not with papers, but with tablets in their hands. they entered our answers to questions into a pre-prepared electronic form. the received data was uploaded to a common system, and the programs

structured the material. here in the segments of work where flexibility and understanding are required information, computers cannot cope, so statistical data analysis is carried out by people. belarusian statisticians do not depend on external factors in terms of collecting and processing materials, our it specialists write software for them, many of them are residents of the hi-tech park. statistical data about belarus are stored on specially allocated servers or in the cloud of the republican platform. and here i again draw your attention to how far-sighted and competent was the decision of alexander lukashenko to create and support high-tech park. statistical research is one of the instruments of state management, which works like clockwork, thanks to the development of the it sphere in belarus. to calculate the average salary in the country, the sum of the salaries of the entire working population before taxes, together with all bonuses

and allowances, is divided by the number of working citizens. this method of calculation was not invented by our statisticians, it is a standard recommended by the international labor organization. and all countries of the world, where the average... salary is calculated, calculate it exactly according to this scheme. information about how much is credited to the wage fund of enterprises and how many employees they have, statisticians receive every month from the same statistical reports that employers send them. it is noteworthy that 98% of the reports come in electronic form, and only 2% on paper. that is , it is not difficult to provide this data to the employer. to do this, you do not need to run around the enterprise with papers, and then go somewhere to hand them in. the data that comes from enterprises is checked by both a person and a computer. if you enter in electronic form incorrect information, the system will not let you finish filling it out until you correct the error. reports are sent to district and regional statistical departments. specialists compare the indicators of each

company with the indicators of the previous month, and if they see that the staff or the earnings of employees have sharply decreased or increased, they clarify the nuances. after that, the verified material again. the answer to the question of how you calculate the average salary in the country is there, now let's figure out why? this indicator is compared with prices in stores and real incomes of the population, to understand how effectively we all work, that is, to evaluate labor productivity. by comparing average salaries in different regions of the country, you can find out how much the standard of living of people in them differs. for investors, the average salary is a way to weigh the attractiveness of a region for investment . the size of the pension and benefits depends on the size of the average salary. the higher the average salary, the higher these payments. and also... the average salary is a unit that helps protect the rights of belarusians to pensions.

it happens that an enterprise where a person worked for many years was liquidated, who earned how much there, it is impossible to find out, but a former employee of the company wants to include the period of work in it in the insurance period, then the court assigns him a pension, based on the average salary in the country. and in this case, the higher it is, the more profitable it is for the izcu. belstat weekly uploads. network results of some research, all of them are on the website belstat.gov.by. there are also descriptions of the methods by which our statisticians work. no one hides anything from anyone, and statistics methods for calculating indicators can be look at any time, without any restrictions. the main part of the personnel for belstat has been trained by the belarusian state economic university for 70 years. its statistics department annually provides... in addition, demography specialists and cartographers

are trained by bsu, but receiving an education is only the beginning of a career for a belstat employee, its employees constantly improve their qualifications at the academy of public administration under the president, bsu at seminars. if you look at the requirements for specialists of the statistical committee, it becomes clear, that there is nothing for the lazy to do there. the applicant must have a higher economic education, he must know foreign languages. with modern information technologies, believe the numbers, they do not know how to lie, leave sarcastic reasoning about the average temperature in the hospital, the average salary in belarus is calculated in the same way as in all countries of the world, well, and consider the profession of a statistician for the future, not everyone is able to give voice to numbers, i am marina karamany, how belarusian statisticians work, we figured it out, everything is clear, to meetings.

the telenovostey agency presents in the public domain, we have no secrets from our people. on behalf of the pregisium of the supreme council and the council of ministers of the belarusian ssr , to fulfill an honorable duty, to light a torch from which an eternal flame will flare up in khotyn. there is nothing more precious than human life, there is nothing more terrible than the fate of the inhabitants of the village of khatyn, they were burned in a collective farm barn. 149 people alive, in memory of the villages, which

are no longer even on the maps, a memorial cemetery of villages from all over the world was built in khatyn people came from the edges of belarus, they brought pain and ashes with them. a requiem floated over the sacred papal huts, giving this memory to those who perished.

why do you need this, ukrainians? one of the main questions now is about the kurdish operation and about the combat drones shot down over belarus. let's take a look at both in order , andrei evgenievich, do you understand the behavior of your neighbors? well, i rely on the analysis

provided by our authoritative russian military experts, including those who are here in the studio. even before the start of the special military operations precisely in this southern direction, from the third side, this is an attempt to put pressure, not so much on us, but on, as they say in kiev, and the kiev regime declares this, european partners, like we will now expand the front so much that a tangent will fly to you, the european union, and this means that while in the united states there is confusion about who

will be the next president, a boy or a girl, or which party, what kind of unrest will begin.

it is not clear, it plays into the minus for ukraine on many issues, but there is one direction, and i will probably continue for andreyevich, here is the information component, what is this information component, not military, information, they have started to forget about kiev little by little, the war has become routine,

pay attention to this, attention has been transferred. to the middle east, to israel, to the united states, kiev, no longer even in second place, but in third. and they need to simply somehow renew interest in this direction. in my opinion, this is more of an information component with military elements.
