Supervision
For the 2011 Population and Household Census there was a total of 2 supervisors to 17 enumerators. They were tasked to make regular checks with the enumerators about the progress of their work. A staff member from the Statistics New Zealand Census Team was able to join the Statistics Niue team as another supervisor/enumerator.
Type of Research Instrument
The questionaire was published in English, a translated questionnaire was on hand when on demand by the respondent.

The questionnaire design differed slightly from the design of previous census questionnaires. As usual, government departments were asked to submit a list of questions on any specific topic they would like to add. Responses were not forthcoming in this census, although a few new questions were included.

There were two types of questionaires used in the census: the household questionaire and the individual questionnaire. An enumerator manual was prepared to assist the enumerators in their duties.

The questionnaire was pre-tested by the enumerators before they were to go out for field enumeration.

Data Processing

Cleaning Operations
Census processing began as soon as questionaires were checked and coded. Forms were checked, edited and coded before being entered into the computer database.

Data processing was assisted by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) using the computer software program CSPro for data entry and for generating tables. Tables were then exported to Excel for analysis.

Occupation and Industry were coded using the United Nations International Standard Classification of Occupation and International Standard Industrial Classification.

It is standard practice that as each area was completed the forms were first checked by the field supervisors for missing information and obvious inconsistencies. Omissions and errors identified at this stage were corrected by the enumerators.

The next stage was for the field supervisors to go through the completed forms again in the office to check in more detail for omissions and logical inconsistencies. Where they were found, the supervisors were responsible to take the necessary action.

Once the questionnaires had been thoroughly checked and edited, they were then coded in preparation for data processing.

Checking, editing and coding of the questionnaires in office were done after normal working hours as to ensure that the confidentiality of the survey is well observed.
Other Processing
The selection for Data Entry Operator selected needed to be a non-Public Servant as entry had to be done during working hours and overtime. This was so data entry would be completed within one week.

Data Entry was conducted manually at the National Statistics Office by 3 data entry operators. The software that was used was CSPro 4.1 with a highly structured data entry program, using systems controlled approach that controlled entry of each variable. A total of 3 computers were used for the data entry.

A staff member from the Statistics New Zealand Census team was able to aid us with tabulations design before the TA from SPC arrived to start data entry.
