Mikrocensus 1971, 2. quarter: Additional Questions for the Population Census

In Austria a population census takes place every 10 years; this census contains a program of important statistical data on population and employment. They roughly corresponds to the information in the Mikrozensus standard survey but are more detailed (for instance with question on the connection of the place of residence and the workplace, questions on education, confession, etc.) Population and Mikrozensus are closely linked which the name already implies: Mikrozensus means a small-scale population census; this should demonstrate that what the population census reports only every 10 years, the Mikrozensus reports through the method of ongoing sampling. These ongoing sample are also collected in the years of the population census. The Mikrozensus however is far more detailed than the survey program of the population census because the Mikrozensus special surveys offer the possibility of asking questions which are fare beyond the scope of the population census. This complementary function of Mikrozensus and population census becomes especially obvious in the June-survey: certain questions that could not be posed in the population census due to the limited program were answered in the Mikrozensus via sampling. These were the topics: questions on the social stratification of the population questions on fertility and succession of birth questions on the silent Human Resources

奥地利每十年开展一次全国人口普查，该普查涵盖人口与就业领域的重要统计数据项目。其内容大致对应微型人口普查（Mikrozensus）标准调查的信息，但更为详尽——例如包含居住地与工作地关联情况、受教育程度、宗教信仰等调研问题。正如其名称所示，全国人口普查与微型人口普查（Mikrozensus）联系紧密：微型人口普查即小型规模人口普查，这清晰体现了二者的数据发布节奏差异——全国人口普查每十年开展一次并发布统计结果，而微型人口普查则通过持续抽样的方式常态化开展数据采集与发布。即便在全国人口普查举办的年份，微型人口普查也会同步推进数据采集工作。不过微型人口普查的调研内容远比全国人口普查的调查项目更为丰富详尽，因为其专项调查可设置远超全国人口普查范畴的调研问题。二者的这种互补功能在六月度调查中体现得尤为突出：受限于全国人口普查的既定项目框架，部分无法纳入普查的问题，可通过抽样调研在微型人口普查中完成数据收集。本次六月度调查涵盖的主题包括：人口社会分层相关问题、生育与出生顺序相关问题，以及隐性人力资源相关问题。
