In a First, Ongoing Population & Housing Census Conducted Digitally
Islamabad: Planning and development will benefit greatly from the information gathered by the ongoing 7th Population and Housing Census. The census is being carried out digitally for the first time in Pakistan, and self-enumeration is an option during the process.
The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA provided technical support for the self-enumeration portal, which was favourably accepted by the general population.
Residential and commercial properties were geo-tagged during the listing process, and economic activities were categorised in accordance with international standards.
Furthermore, starting on March 12 and lasting until April 4 is the census’ final phase, which entails gathering information on household members, demographic traits, and socioeconomic indicators. The census will record Pakistanis’ legal identity numbers, but even those who cannot give identification will still be tallied.
Using post-enumeration surveys to provide quality assurance, the technical staff at the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) is continuously monitoring and evaluating the data to assure quality and advancement.
To help field employees and give technical support, PBS has also built Census Support Centers at the district and tehsil levels.
Moreover, citizens are reminded to rely on official sources of information because certain people are disseminating false and misleading information.
