Population and Housing Census in 2011

Eesti keeles    По-русски

In 2011 the eleventh Population and Housing Census in Estonia (PHC 2011) will take place, in the course of which all permanent residents of Estonia and the dwellings will be enumerated. Pursuant to the decision of the Population Census Committee of the Government of the Republic the combined overwhelming method will be used in conducting the PHC 2011. It means that for the first time in the history of the Estonian population censuses in addition to face-to-face interviews at home also the e-census is used for data collection, which enables persons and their households to enumerate themselves by filling out e-questionnaires on the Internet. It also means that in conducting the PHC 2011 Statistics Estonia has moved on from formerly used paper questionnaires and the enumerator enters the information directly in the laptop, from where it will be immediately forwarded to the server via secured channels. Thus we face the first paperless census during the 130-year long history of population censuses in Estonia.

Pilot Census from 31 December 2009 to 31 March 2010
