Pakistan conducted its seventh Population and Housing Census, and this time it’s being done digitally for the first time ever. The process is going well, according to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS). The census started on 1 March 2023 and will continue until April 4th, 2023. The process includes self-enumeration, where people can fill in their own information, and field operations where staff visit households to collect information.
Using digital methods ensures transparency and accuracy, and the progress of the census is being monitored in real-time. All residential and economic units have been geotagged, and the economic activities have been classified according to international standards. PBS has set up Census Support Centers at the district and tehsil levels, where IT experts are available 24/7 to assist staff. There’s a call center operating 24/7 for any questions or suggestions, and false information should be ignored.
