Developing a Census Tabulation Plan
Developing a Census Tabulation Plan
Introduction
A tabulation plan (TP) is the program of statistical data and metadata that defines the model tables (i.e., tabulations) to be built from a National Statistics Offices' (NSOs) PHC data. Tabulations resulting from the TP are one of the most important outcomes of the Population and Housing Census. The tabulations are the aggregate data that will be presented to the public and other data users in various formats.
This technical note focuses on the various considerations, including recommended topics, cross-tabulations, classifications, and challenges that NSOs must weigh in the process of creating a census TP. This note will help NSOs to build census TPs for their PHC data to produce effective, internationally comparable, and timely census tabulations.
- This technical note is available in both English, Russian, and Arabic.
