Introduction
NISRA
launched an initial consultation that was an important part of the 2011 Census development process. Users were invited to
complete a questionnaire seeking views on the 2011 Census
question content, and also covering issues such as the general
provision of demographic statistics and the population base
& statistical framework for the 2011 Census.
The
original 2011 Census consultation questionnaire can be
viewed at the Consultation
Questionnaire link

Office for National Statistics and the General Register Office

Final
decisions in respect of the 2011 questionnaire are being decided through the
legislative process. Proposals for the content of the 2011
questionnaire and arrangements for the 2011 Census are
outlined in the Census Proposals
Document.
The
2007 Census Test took
place on 13 May 2007 in five areas of Northern Ireland,
on the basis of their different socio-economic
characteristics and their difficulty of enumeration.
2011
Census User Information Seminar
The
Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA)
organised a Census user information seminar to support the
development of the 2011 Census questionnaire. The seminar was
held in Lisburn on 20 June 2007.
The
purpose of the information seminar was to inform users of what
the NI Census Office currently understands to be the main
topic and question priorities for the NI 2011 Census
questionnaire and to provide users with the opportunity to
consider the priorities presented and contribute their views.
