Statistician's Day is observed in Kazakhstan every November 8, commemorating the establishment of the first statistical agency in the country in 1920. This professional holiday marks the approval of the Regulations “On State Statistics in the Kazak ASSR” by the government of the Kazak Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which led to the creation of the main statistical administration. On this day, employees of Kazakhstan's statistical agencies receive congratulations from their superiors and government officials, and distinguished statisticians are awarded special prizes for their dedication and accomplishments. While it is a significant day for the statistical community, it is not a non-working day unless it falls on a weekend.
