Select Topics in International Censuses

The U.S. Census Bureau’s International Programs Center is pleased to announce the release of additional technical notes in the series entitled, Select Topics in International Censuses (STIC). Each one highlights a new subject or method relevant to census planners in middle- to low-income countries. They complement the U.N. Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses by describing select topics in more detail.

The new notes focus on:

Assessing the Quality of Administrative Data in a Census

Assessing the Quality of Fieldwork in a Census

Measuring Educational Characteristics in a Census

Measuring Participation in Own-Use Production of Goods in a Census

Quality Assurance: Household Rostering in a Census

Sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and prepared by Census Bureau experts, the STIC series is designed to assist staff in national statistical offices to address some of their most pressing census issues.

Technical notes on other topics are in development and will be released in the near future.
