Abstract:
|
Over the past three decades the National Academy of Sciences, through its Committee on National Statistics, has convened a number of expert panels to study decennial census issues and methodology. Two current panels, one charged to evaluate the 2000 census and one charged to recommend strategy and methods for 2010, will release important findings in time for the 2002 JSM meetings. The country will be in the midst of recalibrating an enormous number of estimates, formulae, and predictions based on recently released 2000 census figures. The 2000 census methodology has been surrounded by enormous political controversy, and the early planning for 2010 is critical if we as a nation are to continue to improve the performance of our census-taking. The chairs of each panel will present summaries of their panel's work, and the discussants will add their interpretations.
