Population and Housing Census 2002 - Guyana

Abstract
---------------------------

The 2002 Population and Housing Census was the sixth census of a de facto count of the population of Guyana since the first post-war census of 1946. The conduct of each of these censuses had brought its own challenges as societal norms and values and country specific socio-economic conditions change.

The main objectives Census were as follows:
1) to determine the present size and the distribution of the population;
2) to review and document the present status of the population with regard to socio-economic characteristics;
3) to indicate any change in the pattern of the population since the 1991 census;
4) to evaluate any qualitative change in selected socio-economic characteristics of the population;
5) to present general appraisals of some selected living and housing conditions in the country; and
6) to provide a comprehensive pool of information for policy-makers to be used as a tool for immediate and future planning purposes.

2002年人口与住房普查是自1946年首次战后普查以来，圭亚那进行的第六次事实上的人口普查。每一次普查的进行都面临着其自身的挑战，因为社会规范和价值，以及特定国家的社会经济条件都在不断变化。
普查的主要目标如下：
1) 确定当前的人口规模及其分布；
2) 审查并记录人口在社会经济特征方面的当前状况；
3) 指出自1991年普查以来人口模式的变化；
4) 评估人口选定的社会经济特征中任何定性变化；
5) 对国家某些选定的居住和住房条件进行总体评估；
