Population and Housing Census 2010 - Seychelles

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

The main objectives of the census were to provide government, policy makers, planners and researchers with an update on the size and distribution of the population, and its demographic and socio-economic characteristics. The census was implemented in three phases:

-Pre-enumeration phase (preparatory activities)
-Enumeration phase (data collection)
-Post-enumeration phase (data coding, data capture, data validation, analysis and publication / dissemination).

Census/enumeration data [cen]

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

The census adopted the “de jure” method which entailed a complete count of the resident population present from the 26th to 30th August 2010, including
those who were temporarily absent for up to 3 months beyond the start of the main census dates. This provision took into consideration household members who were
out of the country for a short duration during the census taking. Household members were counted by identifying usual residents with the 3-month time-frame criterion
for inclusion. That is, a household member who was absent from his/her usual place of residence for more than 3 months would be counted at his/her place of
current residence at the time of enumeration. Trained personnel collected the data by administering a precoded questionnaire in face-to- face interviews. The unit
of enumeration was the individual identified through lists of households and institutions on census area maps, as well as temporary dwellings such as boats and outdoor
shelters.

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument
---------------------------

For the first time, questions on disability and crime were also included in the census questionnaire. The questions on disability sought to take stock and establish the profile of the population that had some form of physical and / or mental impairment either from birth or through accidents. The questions on crime were in relation to whether in the twelve months preceding the census, any member of the household had been subject to any form of crime committed against their person or their property. Information on the housing stock, type, condition and tenure were also collected as well as amenities available in the households. Questions on economic activities carried out by the household related to agriculture and fishing and other home-based manufacturing activities.

摘要

本普查的主要目标是为政府、政策制定者、规划者和研究人员提供关于人口规模、分布及其人口统计学和社会经济特征的最新信息。普查分为三个阶段实施：
- 前普查阶段（准备工作）
- 普查阶段（数据收集）
- 后普查阶段（数据编码、数据录入、数据验证、分析及发布/传播）。

普查/枚举数据 [cen]
抽样程序
---------------------------
普查采用了‘法定’方法，包括对2010年8月26日至30日期间居住在本地的居民进行全面的计数，包括那些在主普查日期开始后暂时缺席且不超过3个月的居民。这一规定考虑到了在普查期间短暂出国 household 成员的情况。通过3个月的时间框架标准识别常住居民，以统计 household 成员。也就是说，如果 household 成员在其通常居住地缺席超过3个月，则将在其普查时的现居住地进行统计。经过培训的人员通过面对面访谈，使用预先编码的问卷收集数据。枚举单位是通过普查区域地图上 household 和机构的名单以及临时住所（如船只和户外庇护所）来识别的个人。

首次，普查问卷中也包括了关于残疾和犯罪的问题。关于残疾的问题旨在评估并建立具有一定形式生理和/或精神障碍的人口档案，这些障碍可能是从出生或通过事故引起的。关于犯罪的问题则与在普查前十二个月中，家庭中的任何成员是否遭受过针对其人身或财产的任何形式的犯罪有关。还收集了关于住房存量、类型、状况和租赁情况的信息，以及 household 中可用的便利设施。关于家庭进行的与农业、渔业以及其他家庭手工业活动相关的经济活动的问题也被提出。
