Public policy analysis uses data to understand problems, design interventions and evaluate whether they worked. Governments, think tanks and international organisations increasingly combine official statistics with timely commercial data.
Economic indicators track growth, inflation, employment and trade, the core context for most policy questions. Mobility data, aggregated and anonymised, shows how people and vehicles move between areas, which informs transport planning, tourism policy and emergency response. Labour market data covers wages, skills and employment by region and occupation, supporting training and economic development programmes.
Ask how commercial data is weighted to represent the population, how it compares with official benchmarks and whether privacy protections such as aggregation thresholds are in place. Confirm publication rights, since policy work is usually public, and check your organisation's procurement requirements.
