Title: "2010 World Population Housing Census Programme: A Global Review"
Since the 1950s, the UN Statistics Division (UNSD), as the secretariat to the decennial World Population and Housing Census Programme, has closely monitored the implementation of population censuses worldwide.
As the 2010 round of Census Programme, which spans from 2005 to 2014, is winding down, this is a critical time to review the experience in the round and take stock of the lessons learned.
The 2010 round saw that advancement of technology has significantly enhanced technological options for census taking.
However, there have also been new challenges confronting census-taking. Among the emerging challenges countries experienced are rising cost of census and growing privacy concern.
Indeed, such challenges have made a growing number of countries look into alternative methods for compiling census data.
The lecturer will also argue about the applicability of new methods of census, such as register-based census as seen in European countries, to developing countries where statistical system still remains relatively weak.
The lecture and the discussion were given in Japanese.
