Population Censuses and Surveys

A number of adhoc surveys and censuses have been conducted by the Bureau. The major censuses include Population and Housing and Agriculture. These are conducted every ten years. The latest census of population and housing was conducted in 1996 and FIBOS will be conducting the next one in 2007.

Surveys on the other hand are of various types and are conducted more regularly depending on resources availability. The 2002-03 HIES report has been released. The Preliminary results of the Employment and Unemployment Survey [EUS] 2004-2005 has been released also.
