Future Models for Population Census: Can We Have an Administrative Based Census Without a Population Register?
Keywords:
Population Census, Administrative Data, Population Registers, Coverage Errors, Population Estimation.Abstract
There is an increasing interest in producing a census-like count of a population’s characteristics without the use of a full traditional census. In this paper we review some of the models that were used in the 2010/2011 round of censuses within Europe (and English speaking countries of OECD); and discuss the possibility of administrative-based alternatives in countries that do not have, at this time, a full population register.
