Civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems and legal identity systems have become increasingly recognized as catalytic both for inclusive development and for monitoring population dynamics spanning the entire life course. Population scientists have a long history of contributing to the strengthening of CRVS and legal identity systems and of using vital registration data to understand population and development dynamics. This paper provides an overview of the thematic series on CRVS systems. The series spans 11 research articles that document new insights on the registration of births, marriages, separations/divorces, deaths and legal residency. This introductory article to the series reviews the importance of population perspectives and demographic methods in strengthening CRVS systems and improving our understanding of population dynamics across the lifecourse. The paper highlights the major contributions from this thematic series and discusses emerging challenges and future research directions on CRVS systems for the population science community.
民事登记和人口动态统计(CRVS)系统以及法律身份系统日益被视为推动包容性发展和监测贯穿整个人生历程的人口动态的催化剂。人口科学家长期以来一直致力于加强CRVS和法律身份系统,并利用人口动态登记数据来了解人口与发展动态。本文概述了关于CRVS系统的专题系列。该系列涵盖11篇研究文章,记录了在出生、婚姻、分居/离婚、死亡和合法居住登记方面的新见解。本系列的这篇介绍性文章回顾了人口视角和人口统计学方法在加强CRVS系统以及增进我们对整个人生历程中人口动态的理解方面的重要性。本文强调了这个专题系列的主要贡献,并讨论了CRVS系统面临的新挑战以及人口科学界未来的研究方向。
