For the first time in the country’s history, Pakistan’s Census in 2023 is going to be digital with a 40-point questionnaire covering eight important areas. All the preparations are rolled out and the team is now ready for a gigantic task.
The effort is entirely indigenous; all the systems devised and the tools created are by our own experts, said Chief Statistician Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) Dr. Naeem Uz Zafar proudly. He was addressing a hybrid seminar, themed “Census 2023: All You Want to Know About”, at the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) Islamabad.
Naeem uz Zafar said that the census is an important national activity that is linked with resource allocation to provinces, representation in National/Provincial assemblies, and the delimitation process. Therefore, the credibility of the census is of utmost importance.
An official from the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics collects information from a resident during a census as security personnel guards them in Peshawar.
Without having the requirement of Computerised National Identity Cards (CNICs) for verification purposes, the Population Census will collect data from 185,000 blocks in March 2023. The 40-point questionnaire will seek information about eight broad areas in the upcoming population census exercise, including households, basic amenities, demography, education, health, employment, disability, and migration.
