Abstract:

This year Statistics Sweden face the challenge of conducting Sweden's first fully register-based census. We give an overview of how the available registers are to be used for the census, and how a novel register, the register of dwellings, is constructed. The register of dwellings will be matched with the population and the real properties registers to allow us to estimate, for example, distributions of variables such as the ratio of living space to the number of occupants. One issue is people without residence recorded on the register and dwellings without recorded occupants, which we treat with statistical matching. We also address quality measures and quality assessment of a register based census. Other methodological issues in a register-based census include disclosure control, 'unit editing' (i.e. whether the right units have been identified), and evaluation of model assumptions.
