Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Microdata encompasses 1% of the Census 2000.
The data of the entire Census (of which the attached datafiles comprise 1%) was sampled as follows
All persons and households were listed and simultaneously enumerated with the basic information (age, sex, relationship to household head, marital status, religion, nationality, education, occupation, industry and work status) except for sample households. The sample households, which were 20 per cent of households in every area, were also asked for more detailed information and housing information. The self-enumeration questionnaires were based on the basic information.
A post enumeration survey (PES) was carried out by staff members of the NSO. A stratified one-stage sample of 1,520 urban blocks and rural villages was selected. The purpose of the PES was to determine the completeness of an accuracy of the census (coverage error and content error). The content error includes relationship to head of household, age, sex, and marital status.
