Census 2021

[cath151]

My husband applied and got a job as a Census Officer due to go out after the 21st March in the surrounding area to help and "encourage" those those have nt filled in their form to do so . He s looking forward to it but i think it might be a bit more challenging than he thinks!

I was not at home on the dates of the 1961, 1971, 1981, 1991 and 2001 censuses. I was at home in 2011. So in the unlikely event of anyone looking for me after 2112, they will struggle to find me.

What can one say!

I was born in India, and my nationality at that time would have been British.

My nationality now is Australian. How would the ONS deal with that?

Rena - the census is not for us to find answers. It's for national planning, social statistics, etc.

It's a pity no question was asked about hours worked, distance travelled to work, mode of transport, how many hours spent with own children, etc,etc., which could have indicated the well being of the nation.

Those are covered by various surveys that can be one off or longitudinal.  I've been regularly questioned in a longitudinal survey on such topics.  These are regular surveys that take place at 6 month or so intervals, not just at  10 year intervals. Their site gives information about the various ONS studies and reports from them.

Thanks for the reminder; as I'd been invited to join, I should have remembered the short term and long term forums each gov. sets up.

I did a PS that you might not have seen.

There are masses of reports.

I am surprised that there wasn't a question related to How many years Married or How many children living and died like in the 1911 census or present address.
