Enumerators’ visits will be postponed for four days
Statistics Estonia will postpone the interview census for four days, during which the enumerators are visiting those residents who did not participate in the e-census. The enumerators will start visiting homes next Monday, on 20 February.
“The participation rate of e-census was almost three times higher than expected and that is the reason why we need three additional days for making the list of dwellings that the enumerators must visit,” said Ms Diana Beltadze, the Project Manager of the Population and Housing Census. During the e-census conducted from 31 December 2011 to 1 February 2012 the questionnaires were completed on two thirds of Estonian population (see the Annex).
Those who did not participate in the e-census will be visited by enumerators in the period of 20 February to 31 March 2012.
In Estonia the Population and Housing Census is conducted from 31 December 2011 to 31 March 2012. More detailed information on the Population Census www.REL2011.ee.
