Population and Housing Census 2010 - Ghana

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

The 2010 Census was undertaken to update current information on the size, sex, age, composition and other characteristics of Ghana's population and to ascertain the specific changes in these characteristics which had taken place since the last census was conducted in 2000. The Census was expected to ensure the continuation of a time series of demographic and socio-economic benchmark data at the national and sub-national levels and enhance the capability-building programme of the Statistical Service.

The Census data editing was implemented at three levels:

1. Field editing by interviewers and supervisors
2. Office editing and coding of occupation and industry
3. Data cleaning and imputation

Data editing was partly manual and partly automatic. Occupation and Industry coding was done by the Field Supervisors but they were edited in the office after the field work. The questionnaire reference numbers were also reviewed as part of the preparatory activities before scanning.

Response rate

100 percent

Data appraisal
---------------------------

A post Enumeration Survey (PES) was conducted to assess the extent of coverage and content error. (See Adminstrative Report)
