Using Public Registers for Development of Electronic Demography System: The Case of Azerbaijan

Abstract

E-demography is an effective tool for conducting social studies and monitoring population data at various levels and sections and is considered as one of the key components of e-government. The population register data is currently used in demographic researches, studies on the use of data from other public registers, as well as the formation of an e-demographic system, include very limited areas. The aim of the paper is the development of an e-demography system using public registers. The paper examines the existing research in the field of e-demography and approaches to the formation of e-demography on the basis of the population register. Integration of public registers using personal identification number was reviewed. All data collected in public registers have a great role as an important source for demographic research. The paper proposes a conceptual model of an e-demography system based on public registers in the case of Azerbaijan. The transfer of personal-oriented data from public registers to the e-demographic system provides broad opportunities for the study of individual characteristics.
