Resource statistics refer to the numerical data that provides information about the availability and use of resources in a particular area or sector. These statistics can include data on natural resources, such as water, minerals, and forests, as well as human resources, such as the labor force and skilled workers. Resource statistics are used to monitor and evaluate the availability and sustainability of resources, as well as to identify areas where additional resources may be needed. They are often used by policymakers, researchers, and business leaders to make informed decisions about resource allocation, development, and management. For example, in the context of natural resources, resource statistics can help identify areas where there is a high demand for resources and where resource depletion may be a concern. This information can then be used to guide conservation efforts and resource management policies. In the context of human resources, resource statistics can provide insight into the size and skill level of the workforce in a particular area or sector. This information can be used to identify areas where additional training or education may be needed to meet the demands of the job market. Resource statistics are typically collected and reported by government agencies, research institutions, and other organizations involved in resource management and development. They are often published online or through other public channels to increase awareness and understanding of resource availability and use. Sources: United Nations. (2021).
