Cambodia Begins General Population Census 2019
Cambodia launches general population census

PHNOM PENH, March 3 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia launched the third general population census on Sunday, said Hang Lina, director general of the National Institute of Statistics.
"The census started at 7:00 am today (March 3) and will run until March 13 at 5:00 p.m.," she told Xinhua.
About 50,000 census staff have been deployed to collect the demographic, social and economic statistics, including births, deaths, migration, education and employment status among others, she said.
"The census data is very important for the country to plan and to make policies," she said. "It will also work as an indicator to monitor and check the work carried out under the national strategic development plan and the sustainable development goals."
It is estimated that the Southeast Asian nation has nearly 3 million households with the population of about 16.2 million, she said, adding that the census' preliminary result will be released in June before the official result to be publicized at the end of 2019.
According to Lina, the 11-day census is to cost 8.5 million U.S. dollars, which is the government's own budget.
She added that the Chinese government also donated cars, motorbikes, desktop computers and other equipment worth about 2.5 million dollars to Cambodia for the census work.
Cambodia conducted a general population census once a decade. The 2008 population census found that the country's population was 13.4 million, up from 11.4 million in 1998.

Re: Cambodia Begins General Population Census 2019
A Khmer friend fearfully told us today that the government was going house to house asking questions about all the people in the house, and what they do, and warned us we should be careful or hide. They clearly think some sort of pogrom is in the works. A little more education of the masses might have been useful on this one.

I suppose many things the rest of the world regards as normal could cause fear in light of the historic aberration of 40 years ago.

I am Australian, and understand how a census works.
In Cambodia there is potential for abuse. For example, if people admit they are Vietnamese, at some time in the future they may be deported.

Re: Cambodia Begins General Population Census 2019
When they do the census, do they want information from foreigners in Cambodia, or just Cambodians?

Re: Cambodia Begins General Population Census 2019
I was here for a census in 2007. I think locals were supposed to be registered at their regular home but everyone in my house was too busy to go anywhere special. I was expecting some people to call around but they didn't, so they missed about 4 people living there.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

should give everyone a home before you spend on census.

Re: Cambodia Begins General Population Census 2019
Like they do in Australia eh?
Re: Cambodia Begins General Population Census 2019
They've been twice here already. Both times two young women came to explain what was happening and asked if we had any ID. They put a sticker on the wall outside each house for future reference. They said they'd be back yesterday with people from the Sangkat but they didn't show. Not sure how accurate this census will be, I'm sure people will just lie about who's living in the house.

Re: Cambodia Begins General Population Census 2019
An easy way of counting the population would be to count the number of people that voted in the last election.,,, deduct 10 percent, and there, you have it.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
