Targeted actions of the 28 priority operations
Action 10:
Improve quantitative and qualitative data on
stateless populations
Quantitative and qualitative data on stateless
populations is essential for States to adequately
address statelessness. It allows States to
understand the profile of the affected populations
and the causes of their lack of nationality.
Information on the situation of stateless population
can be gathered using a range of methods,
including analyses of civil registration data,
population censuses, targeted surveys and
studies.
