If you are preparing a Pro Gradu thesis or diploma work at your university or polytechnic, Statistics Finland has many tools that can be helpful in your work.
Even if you are not applying statistical methods in your thesis or diploma work, you can use statistical data as a source of information in your research. Statistics are divided into 26 topics, which cover nearly every area of life. The home page of each set of statistics includes the most recent statistical release. More information on sources of statistical data is available at the Library of Statistics.
The Library of Statistics offers assistance to researchers. In addition to literature on statistics, the Library has a wide collection of literature on social sciences and various handbooks on doing research. At the Library you can use e.g. all Statistics Finland's chargeable products free of charge.
The Library assists in the use of the materials during opening hours, and the online services are available for users free of charge 24 hours a day. The Library of Statistics also produces chargeable commissions on Finnish data as well as on the data of other countries, Eurostat and international organisations.
If you apply statistical methodology when analysing your research data, Statistics Finland can offer you various analysis tools.
