According to the Census of population 1980 many big cities and states show a population loss since 1970. These doubted the validity of the census and raised the question of undercount. The author analyses the changes in the population numbers
and sketches the political and economic consequences of the regional differences in the population growth. (AGD).

Political considerations and mass illiteracy have made accurate censuses difficult to achieve, but the 1991 census should produce reliable data if it is depoliticised. - (EMS)

Questions of personal identity have been at the centre of South African politics since the formation of the Union in 1910. It is scarcely surprising that successive censuses have probed the issues of race, religion, language and citizenship
in an effort to assess the character of the national population, or specific segments of it. It may be queried whether the current questions, largely inherited from the previous era, are still adequate for the post-apartheid state. - (AJC)

The availability of GIS technology and digital boundaries of census output areas now makes it possible for users to design their own census geography. Three algorithms are described that can be used for this purpose. An Arc/Info implementation
is briefly outlined and case studies presented to demonstrate some of the results of explicitly designing zoning systems for use with 1991 Census data.

Modern census taking in South Africa began as an offshoot of the British imperial enquiry into its colonial possessions. As such the form, frequency and much of the detail of the conduct and presentation of the census was derived from British
precedents. South African society differed markedly from England and this was increasing reflected in the pre-1961 censuses, as the imperial link was loosened. - (AJC)

that, although the nation-building and data-generating functions of the census are not contradictory, they could not in this case be reconciled because the population in question does not align with the national territorial borders that guide and delimit census
This test is conducted in order to evaluate the prospect of including American citizens living abroad in the decennial census. The debate was framed by two distinct discourses of the function of the census in American society. The A. argues
