Population and Housing Census [hh/popcen]
This census is part of the consecutive 5-yearly Censuses of Tokelau conducted by the Office for Tokelau Affairs. The first population counts took place in the late 1800's while the first Tokelauan census in which the Department of Statistics was involved in planning, development and design was the 1986 census. It was then followed by the 1991 census then the latest up-to-date in 1996.
The 1996 Tokelau Census of Population and Dwellings, like the previous censuses, was conducted to provide the administration, planners and policy-makers with up-to-date statistical information on demographic and socio-economic developments. This data is needed for planning purposes, and to evaluate the success and failure of programmes and projects. The 1996 census was conductedaccording to the Tokelau Census Regulations, 1961. These regulations require a census to be carried out every five years. The previous censues was conducted in 1991.
One of the main objectives of the 1996 census was to improve the technical and administrative capabilities of the Planning and Statistics Unit of the Department of Support Services and Finance to enable it to plan, design, execute, process and analyse its population censuses.
