    Population and Housing Census
    (ESS, 2002-05) Musilli, Andy
    For any country, the population census is the primary source of information about the size of population, its geographic distribution and the social, demographic and economic characteristics of its people. The strengths and distinctiveness of a census compared with most alternative sources of statistical information arise from its complete geographic coverage and the continuity and comparability of statistics from census to census. Thus, the possibilities provided by the census to generate statistics about all the people living in any local or defined area or belonging to any defined sub-group of the population distinguishes it from other data sources. As a result, it permits, for example, the analysis of migrant populations, persons living in disadvantaged areas or circumstances, or female-headed households and other gender related issues. Together with the housing census, invariably conducted in tandem, the population census provides an important part of the foundation for good governance and development.

These covered a range of technical topics from different regions, raising many valuable pointers to how cost savings could effectively be achieved. The discussions that followed the presentations demonstrated the rich experience of participants and the importance of seeking solutions to the more fundamental funding problems identified, crucial if censuses as we now know them are to continue.
