The Expert Group recommended that the Principles and Recommendations should provide more guidance related to the provision of samples of microdata for academic research. The Expert Group recommended that the interrelations between the early phases of census planning and the subsequent development of census products and future data utilization should be clarified in the chapters of the Principles and Recommendations dedicated to census planning. Similarly, with regard to census products, how to identify users’ needs in the early phases of census planning should be explained. Countries should be guided to design census products according to different groups of users, e.g. the central government, the general public, academia, media, particular subgroups like children, and the private sector, according to their current and foreseeable future country circumstances.[/green] Margaret Mbogoni Statistician Demographic and Social Statistics Branch United Nations Statistics Division Two United Nations Plaza, Room, DC2-1558 New York, NY 10017 Tel.
