Necessity of Post-enumeration Necessity of Post-enumeration SurveySurvey

To control exhaustivness and quality of Census data, the SSO organized an independent Post - enumeration Survey (PES) what gave opportunity to estimate coverage and reliability of the Census, as well as to discover some possible errors.


Methodological principlesMethodological principles1. PES is an independent survey;

2. PES should be conducted immediately after the CENSUS, in a short period of time;

3. PES is a sample survey;

4. In PES should be used the same definitions and classifications as in the Census;

5. For PES should be used the Census resources;

6. The PES data should be matched and compared to the Census data.

- Writing reports (controllers and instructors).


Data ProcessingData Processing Detailed control of the filled in PES

forms and analysis of the instructor’s reports;

Entry and processing of the PES materials;

The calculations of all statistics were done using ordinary estimation model for stratified cluster sample in SAS software package.


Analysis of the resultsAnalysis of the results

1. Analysis of the instructor’s reports;

2. Analysis of the processed PES data.


1. Analysis of 1. Analysis of instructor’s reportsinstructor’s reports

By analyzing instructor’s report we can conclude:

That some part of the population had negative deportment to the second visits of controllers and the repeated enumeration of the households, resulting in refusing of PES in 4 EDs...

That the good field work strongly depends on: - Clear description and punctually

drawn ED boundaries;

- Size of the EDs;

- Selection, training and commitment of the controllers (enumerators ).


2. Analysis of the processed PES data2. Analysis of the processed PES data

By analyzing the processed PES data we can conclude:

The Census population was underestimated by 1,4 %;

The variables for ethnical affiliation were with highest quality, without discrepancy between the Census and the PES data;


The variables for economic status were not with so good quality, especially there were discrepancies between the Census and the PES data in the variables “self employed” and “unpaid family worker” in rural strata;

The section with agricultural items for households was incorrectly responded both in the Census and in the PES.


2. 2. Analysis of the processed PES dataAnalysis of the processed PES data

General conclusionGeneral conclusion

The Census 2002 was with goodcoverage and the biggest part of theCensus items were with good quality.Some of them, like the agricultural itemswere insufficiently responded, which was additional reason for planning andconducting the Agricultural Census inJune 2007.
