Abstract:
|
This poster presentation will look at selected questions tested for the 2011 Census and the new National Household Survey that replaces the previous long-form census. The presentation will include examples such as evolution of family and commuting to work. It will answer the following questions: What triggered the content change? What criteria were considered for implementing the change? How did the question fare in qualitative and statistical testing? What outcome can be expected?
