Population and Housing Census 1994 - Ethiopia

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

Statistical data reflect the socio-economic and demographic conditions of the residents of a country are useful for designing and preparation of development plans and for monitoring and evaluation of the impact of the implementation of the development plans. These statistical data include population size, age, sex, fertility, mortality, migration, literacy and education, marital status, occupation, industry, housing stocks and conditions… etc. In order to fill the gap for these socio-economic and demographic data need, Ethiopia conducted its second National population and Housing Census in October 1994.

The 1994 Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia was conducted under the auspices of the population and housing census commission that was set up under proclamation No. 32/1992. The commission was chaired by the prime minister and the members of the commission were drawn from various relevant ministries. The Central Statistical Authority served as the office of the commission (secretariat). Hence the processing, evaluation and analyses of the data collected in this census as well as its dissemination are the responsibilities of this office.

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

All household in all housing units are counted. Systematic selection procedure used to decide whether to use long or short questioner. During the three days before the census day all households and housing units were listed in a separate form designed for this purpose, this list was used to identify the type of questionnaire that was to be administered to the households. One out of the fife household was selected to interview using long questionnaire, while the other four were interviewed using short questionnaire. Resident of hotels, hostels and other collective quarters were always interviewed using long questionnaire. Short questionnaire administered for the homeless persons. Weight were applied the information collected in order to let the data represent the entire population. This means the fingers presented in tables that refer disability, education, economic activity, migration, fertility, mortality and housing stock and condition represent the entire population.

The fact that the information was collected from a sample of household and not from the entire household does not make the information less reliable. In fact this process increase the quality of the information collected by reducing the work load that would have been faced if all household were covered using the long questionnaire. The reduction of work load improves the quality of the data because it is expected to facilitate a closer supervision during the field work, enable better data coding and editing, and enable the timely processing of the data collected.

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

Two type of questionnaires were used to collect census data:
i) Short questionnaire
ii) Long urban and rural questionnaire

The difference between the two questionnaire is number of variables. The data collected using the short questionnaire included basic information on population such as size, sex, age, language, ethnic group, religion and marital status. The data collected using the long questionnaire included information on disability, education, economic activity, migration, fertility, mortality and housing stock and condition.

摘要
---------------------------
统计数据显示了该国居民的社经和人口状况，这对于制定和准备发展计划以及监控和评估发展计划实施的影响具有重要意义。这些统计数据包括人口规模、年龄、性别、生育率、死亡率、迁移、识字和受教育程度、婚姻状况、职业、行业、住房存量及条件等。为了填补这些社经和人口数据的空白，埃塞俄比亚于1994年10月进行了第二次全国人口与住房普查。

1994年埃塞俄比亚人口与住房普查是在第32/1992号宣言设立的普查委员会的指导下进行的。委员会由总理担任主席，其成员来自各相关部委。中央统计局作为委员会的办公机构（秘书处）。因此，该普查收集数据的处理、评估和分析，以及其传播，均由该机构负责。

普查/清点数据 [cen]

抽样程序
---------------------------
对所有住宅单元中的家庭进行计数。采用系统性选择程序来决定是否使用长问卷或短问卷。在普查日前的三天内，所有家庭和住宅单元均以专为该目的设计的单独表格进行登记，此表格用于确定将向家庭实施的问卷类型。五分之一的家庭使用长问卷进行访谈，而其余的四家则使用短问卷。酒店、宿舍和其他集体宿舍的居民始终使用长问卷进行访谈。无家可归者使用短问卷。应用权重以收集到的信息，以便让数据代表整个群体。这意味着表格中显示的关于残疾、教育、经济活动、迁移、生育率、死亡率和住房存量及条件的数字代表整个群体。

尽管信息是从家庭样本而非整个家庭收集的，但这并不降低信息的可靠性。事实上，这个过程通过减少如果使用长问卷覆盖所有家庭将会面临的工负载，从而提高了收集信息的质量。工作负载的减少提高了数据质量，因为它预计将促进现场工作期间更密切的监督，便于更好地进行数据编码和编辑，并确保及时处理收集到的数据。

研究工具
---------------------------
收集普查数据使用了两种类型的问卷：
i) 短问卷
ii) 长度不同的城市和农村问卷
两种问卷之间的区别在于变量的数量。使用短问卷收集的数据包括人口的基本信息，如规模、性别、年龄、语言、族群、宗教和婚姻状况。使用长问卷收集的数据包括残疾、教育、经济活动、迁移、生育率、死亡率和住房存量及条件等信息。
