| Abstract |
The Census is the official count of population, dwellings and households in Vanuatu and it provides a ‘snapshot’ of the country at one specific point in time: midnight 16th November 2020. The Census provides a unique source of detailed demographic, social and economic information about the whole population of Vanuatu. This information is used for policy making and planning, monitoring and evaluation, research and other decision making. There are many users of statistics from the Census including government agencies like the Ministry of Finance and Economic Management for resource allocation, the Ministry of Education and Youth Development and Training for the population in each of the school catchment areas as well as population projections for the school population of the future, the Ministry of Health uses the population, fertility and household amenity information for a number of purposes in its planning and decision making as well as monitoring and evaluation.
Students are avid users of Census data for the many research projects they undertake. The Census provides information for local government (Province, Area Council) in its activities as well as numerous private researchers and their subjects of interest. The Census data is also available in Geographic Information System output format which is used for agricultural land use planning when used in conjunction with other map layers such as type of topsoil, and patterns of population distribution used for transport and other infrastructure planning. |
