Achille J. Pelletier has written: 'Canadian censuses of the seventeenth century' -- subject(s): Census
Individual countries make their own censuses in periods of 5 or 10 years, others at more infrequent intervals, but no census of the entire human population has ever been made. Statistics regarding the whole population are made based on a combination of official censuses and estimates by both national and international organisations.
Censuses are typically conducted by government agencies to gather population data. This is usually done by sending out surveys to households or by conducting in-person interviews. Data collected from censuses is used to make informed decisions about resource allocation, policy-making, and demographic analysis.
The next census in the UK will be 2021. Censuses are held every ten years in a year ending in '1'.
