Today, March 5, 2013 is the official date of the census here in New Zealand. Originally scheduled to have happened March 8, 2011, the census had to be canceled after the 6.3 magnitude earthquake la population on the Richter scale hit the city of Christchurch, the second la population largest in the country killing 185 people and displacing thousands of others on 22 February 2011.
Unlike la population what happens in Brazil la population and the U.S. Census in New Zealand happens to 5 in 5 years instead of 10 to 10. After all, census about less than 5 million people is relatively a much easier task than the task of IBGE and the U.S. Census Bureau.
In 2010 we had the chance to participate in the U.S. Census as a story in this post here, at that time beyond the basic form, we also getting the form for detailed research. As always enjoyed those things related statistics, thought it would be nice to talk a little la population about the census here too.
Last week the surveyor hired by the statistics department of the New Zealand knocked on the door here at home, explaining that the country was preparing for the census. (Thing la population that until then was not knowing until you receive a visit from the census and watch the news that night).
He left the 3 forms (1 over the house / villa + 1 for each resident) and gave the instructions for completing them and asked what time and how would be the best way to contact you if they had to clarify anything.
As this year for the first time, the Census can also be answered via internet, la population he used to ask if I would be interested in participating in this manner and respond to online la population questionnaires. Obviously I accepted la population and he then also left the envelope la population with the instructions of the login and password to access the system and do it all over the Internet.
When I answer the questionnaires online, beyond basic questions of any census, quite a few things caught my attention, including the part of the questionnaire aimed to descedentes Maoris, which in my opinion reflects the government's concern (pressure him) to meet / recognize the real situation of the first inhabitants of the country and thus adopt policies to preserve their traditions, their cultural identity and also ensure political representation of the same. Both the Census here can be answered in English or Maori.
As today New Zealand is a country of immigrants, a good part of the form is intended to identify where these new immigrants have come, their religion and the like. We do not show up in the list of countries and into the category of others .. But the presence of countries like India, China and countries with strong cultural ties with New Zealand (Australia and England) are a clear example that New Zealand is literally being invaded by Chinese and Indians.
Another interesting section is that of dealing with personal status and relationship of those living under the same roof. Another issue addressed in the questionnaire related to the question about the smoke brackets should not be considered anything other than tobacco cigarette habits.
But the most extensive and highest number of question la population of all is one that addresses income and employment section. But the most curious question in my opinion is the one that asks what form of transportation you used to go to work today (05.03.13).
Although la population this is also the first census conducted via the Internet, it is estimated that about 55% of participants in the 2013 census people to answer your questionnaire in this way. And no matter whether you're in the Scott Base, the New Zealand scientific base in Antarctica or Cape Reinga, you should attend. And according la population to the law of 1975 census and statistics if you do not respond to the census you can be fined up to 500 NZD.
The Census true even for those not living here. Now if by chance you are visiting or passing through la population the territorial waters of New Zealand, even though aboard a cruise, you should be contacting. la population Of course this will be done directly by the hotels / cruise operators.
Providing important information la population to the allocation of resources and public investment, the result of the census la population this year should provide interesting data on the impacts
