Abstract
The census date was midnight, the 23rd of July 2018.
The Census is the official count of population, household and dwellings in Wallis & Futuna and it gives a general overview of the country at one specific point in time: 23rd of July 2018. Since 1969 until 2003, Census has been taken once in every 7 or 6 years and every 5 years from 2003.
The census can be the source of information for allocation of public funding, more particularly in areas such as health, education and social policy. The main users of the information provided by the Census are the government, education facilities (such as schools and tertiary organizations), local authorities, businesses, community organizations and the public in general.
The objectives of Census changed over time shifting from earlier years where they were essentially household registrations and counts, to now where a national population census stands supreme as the most valuable single source of statistical data for Wallis & Futuna. This Census allowed to determine the legal population of Wallis and Futuna in all geographical aspects: Wallis island, Futuna island, the 3 "circonsriptions" (Alo, Sigave, Uvea) and 5 districts (Alo, Sigave, Hahake, Hihifo, Mua).
Census data is now widely used to evaluate:
- The availability of basic household needs in key sectors, to identify disadvantaged areas and help set priorities for action plans;
- Benefits of development programmes in particular areas, such as literacy, employment and family planning;
In addition, census data is useful to asses manpower resources, identify areas of social concern and for the improvement in the social and economic status of women by giving more information about this part of the population and formulating housing policies and programmes and investment of development funds.
