Abstract:
|
For the 2001 UK Census, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) instigated the One Number Census (ONC) project which focused on measuring undercoverage, since overcoverage had historically not been a significant issue in previous censuses. Evidence gathered during the ONC and subsequent studies indicated that overcoverage in the 2001 Census may have been around 0.5%. For the 2011 UK Census it is expected that this figure will be larger due to changes in collection methodology and the rapid change in society and living arrangements. ONS is exploring ways for measuring overcoverage alongside the research to develop its methodology for measuring undercoverage. This presentation lays out how ONS is tackling this problem and the areas of research that will be addressed. Early ideas will be discussed, such as survey and matching based methods.
