All benefits

Statistics matter. To you too.

The Federal Statistical Office (FSO) is the competence centre for public statistics and the main player in the Swiss data ecosystem. It produces statistical information, works towards data harmonisation through national data management, and develops processes based on data science to advance data interpretation. The FSO thus contributes to shaping public opinion and makes an important contribution to modern democratic governance.

Additional information

The civil status and epidemiology domain provides national and regional statistics on deaths and their causes, on reproduction, as well as on the incidence and treatment of cancers, in order to best inform the general public, the health sector, research, administration, and policymakers. Statistics on causes of death provide important information on diseases affecting the Swiss population. We are looking for a specialised collaborator for coding causes of death.
