| …budget makes $30M allocationEight years after the last census in Guyana the Bureau of Statistics will this year undertake a nationwide census and a perusal of the expenditure of the 2010 budget reveals that some $30M has been allocated for the exerciseThat entity’s website has also confirmed that there will be a 2010 census along with the rest of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has started preparations for the 2010 round of population and housing censuses.Like the 2002 census, census 2010 will be conducted as part of the United Nations 2010 round of global population and housing censuses.The 2010 round spans the period 2005-2014 and as is traditional the CARICOM group will execute their censuses in the year which is halfway within the period defined as the 2010 round.The 2002 census was the sixth Census conducted in Guyana since 1945.Guyana’s history of decennial Census taking goes back to 1831 under the then Colonial Administrations, with breaks during the two great wars.From a more current historical perspective in the post World-War II era, Guyana with the rest of the English speaking Caribbean, conducted its previous Censuses in the years 1946, 1960, 1970,China NBA Jerseys, 1980 and 1991.Accordingly, Guyana’s current Census should ideally have been executed in year 2001, but according to the stats bureau it would have been impractical to hold it in an election year, thus the deferment to year 2002.Census 2002 was part of the global round of Censuses, and more importantly it was an integral part of the regionally coordinated round of Censuses under the aegis of the CARICOM Secretariat.The post World-War II Censuses have all been conducted on a regional basis, and with the advent of CARICOM, a Regional Census Coordinating Committee had been established since the 1970 Census to help plan and coordinate all Census activities of member countries.By Ministerial Order made under the Statistics Act of the Laws of Guyana, Census Day was set at 15th September 2002.Field enumeration of the population and housing commenced thereafter, except for Region Nine which historically has been done earlier in March/April, to avoid the onset of the rainy season, which makes communication in that area for Census taking virtually impossible.A census is the procedure of systematically acquiring and recording information about the members of a given population. It is a regularly occurring and official count of a particular population. |
