Thus, for example, “the population census is defined as the operation that produces at regular intervals the official counting (or benchmark) of the population in the territory of a country …” This would suggest that any operation that results in this product could be called a census. To what extent can this be adopted at the global level? Is this a useful definition for other regions? [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
