Reviewing the United Nations Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses

The United Nations Statistical Commission, at its 36th session (March 2005), approved the 2010 World Programme on Population and Housing Censuses and established the Expert Group on the 2010 World Programme on Population and Housing Censuses. This Expert Group, in turn, proposed the formation of working groups and technical subgroups to carry out its mandate in regard to the revision and update of the global United Nations Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses.

This web-site is designed to support the work of the working groups and technical subgroups by providing links to all relevant background documents and to the discussion groups:
