Census appeal Print E-mail
Wednesday, 14 March 2007

A consultation about what questions should be included in Scotland's next census was launched today by the Register General.

The Registrar General Duncan Macniven said the 2011 census will be the "most difficult yet" to carry out as a result of Scotland's changing demographics, which is why they are appealing for input from the public about the type of questions they should be asking.

He said: "The next census could be the most difficult yet to carry out because Scotland's population is more diverse and mobile than ever before. Already we have tried out new or amended questions on a range of issues such ethnicity and occupation during the census tests.

"However, we need more input on exactly what questions the people of Scotland should be asked. We only get one chance to get the census right. The statistical data collected through the censuses is paramount to the work of public and private organisations throughout Scotland and the UK.

"Every household in Scotland will be required to complete the census form in 2011. We need people and organisations who use the census results to tell us how best we can present the questions and what questions they need us to ask to collect the best set of data for Scotland."

The consultation will run for 12 weeks until June 7 2007 and can be accessed online at: http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/2007censusconsultation.html
