3. Adapting new technologies to census operations
Papers
It is difficult to anticipate all the necessary administrative
and methodological requirements of applying new technology
in the conduct of censuses.
How should countries make informed choices in selecting appropriate
technology?
There are also problems related to high cost
of equipment, access to maintenance, and lack of necessary
expertise.
What are the most appropriate methods, so far tried, to effectively
adapt to the emerging demands for new technologies while
maintaining the integrity of the existing data collection
systems?
How should outsourcing, of some census activities such as data
processing, be managed?
How should confidentiality issues be handled in such circumstances?
