Coordination between housing censuses and population censuses and of theses censuses with other statistical inquiries and compilation

Abstract

This paper focuses on the question of co-ordination between censuses of population and housing, and of these with other types of field inquiries and current statistics systems, should be considered within the context of an integrated system of data collection. Because of the amount and diversity of information which can be collected within a single country by means of the various censuses, sample surveys and record based systems, it is necessary to determine the conceptual and operational relationships which should be established and maintained among them and to co-ordinate the various activities in accordance with these relationships within the overall system.
