Alternative Census Designs: An Overview of Issues


This paper by the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) presents general features of the traditional and some selected alternative census designs giving reasons for their adoption. Reviews are made, through examples, of the following approaches: the traditional census approach (which is briefly explored here in order to provide a context and contrast); register-based census approach; censuses based solely on sample surveys; registers/administrative records combined with sample survey; and the traditional census supplemented by annual sample surveys.

Paper for the expert Group Meeting to Review Critical Issues Relevant to the Planning of the 2010 Round of Population and Housing Censuses, New York, 2004.
