Statistics matter. For you too.

The Federal Statistical Office (FSO) is the competence center for public statistics and the main actor in the Swiss data ecosystem. It produces statistical information, works towards data harmonization through national data management, and develops processes derived from data science to evolve data interpretation. The FSO thus contributes to the formation of public opinion and makes an important contribution to modern democratic governance.

Additional information

The civil status and epidemiology field provides national and regional statistics on deaths and their causes, on procreation 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 in this regard on diseases affecting the Swiss population. We are looking for a specialized employee for the coding of causes of death.
