Week 4: Some major factors influencing the census results in Pakistan
Population census is usually carried out once in every 10 years but circumstances have made it difficult to keep to this time schedule. Gaps are noticed in various demographic data sets due to delays in conducting surveys and censuses. Where data exist they are not current enough to meet the needs of the Demographic Yearbook data requests. Some surveys results are not released in the form one can disaggregate to meet the needs of the Yearbook requests. For example, age classifications related to data on major town indicators and marital status are not readily 2 available, while efforts to get down to the lower units of survey coverage are usually not possible.
