Area of Science:

  • Demography
  • Population Studies
  • Statistical Methodology

Background:

  • Modern societies require flexible population estimates due to increasing mobility.
  • Current population data outputs may not meet diverse user needs.
  • Distinctions between 'usual residence' and 'population present' bases are critical.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore challenges in defining 'the population' for statistical purposes.
  • To propose recommended population definitions for enhanced data flexibility.
  • To compare current census outputs with potential future adaptable outputs.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on population definition issues.
  • Consultation with diverse data users.
  • Analysis of 2001 Census output bases.
  • Development of recommended flexible population definitions.

Main Results:

  • Identified key issues in defining population bases.
  • Proposed new definitions to support flexible population estimation.
  • Demonstrated potential for more adaptable outputs compared to 2001 Census.

Conclusions:

  • Recommended population definitions can significantly improve data flexibility.
  • Adopting these definitions will better serve diverse needs in a mobile society.
  • Future census outputs can be more adaptable with revised definitions.
