The Economic Census is the U.S. Government's official five-year measure of American business and the economy. It is conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, and response is required by law. In October through December of the census year, forms are sent out to nearly 4 million businesses, including large, medium and small companies representing all U.S. locations and industries. Respondents were asked to provide a range of operational and performance data for their companies.This dataset presents data for exported services for selected industries.

Abstract

The main objectives of a census are: - to provide current information on demographic and related socio-economic characteristics of the population at national and sub-national levels. Such information facilitates effective planning and evaluation of development programmes; - to provide and maintain a time series of demographic data at national and sub-national levels. These data enhance appraisal of the past, assessment of the present and estimation of future trends; - to develop the national capabilities to produce, coordinate and disseminate relevant, accurate and timely statistics to meet the information needs of various users; - to improve the capability to advise other users and producers of statistics; and - to develop and maintain an efficient sampling frame for surveys.

Geographic coverage

The geographical frame for the 2012 Census followed the spatially defined structure of provinces, administrative districts and wards. In an effort to ensure that the whole country was covered during the enumeration period, the whole country was demarcated into small areas known as enumeration areas (EAs). Each one of these EAs was covered by one enumerator. The identified boundaries of the EAs were such that they did not cut across existing provincial, district, or ward boundaries.

There were also special population categories which, by definition, did not belong to any defined area, or for some reason, required special arrangements in order to be enumerated. The special population categories included among others, the homeless, vagrants, persons who were travelling on trains or buses on the census night, persons in camping sites, prisons, hotels and in other unstable population situations.

A population census can be taken either on a de facto or de jure basis. The latter involves enumerating people at their place of usual residence. The 2012 census however, was conducted on a de facto basis, relating to the night of the17th of August. This means that all those people who spent the night of the 17th /18th of August in Zimbabwe were counted, irrespective of their citizenship, nationality or residence status. Consequently, Zimbabweans who were out of the country on t

It should be noted that the main objects of the enumeration are i) the individual and ii) the household. A household, as defined for the 2012 Population census, is a person or group of persons who stayed the census night i.e. Friday night of the 17-18th of August, 2012, together in a dwelling unit, whether or not they were related by blood or marriage. he census night were not counted.

Census information was collected using a pre-coded questionnaire (see copy in Appendix 1a). The questionnaire was made up of the following sections: A. Identification of enumeration area and household B. Socio-economic and demographic characteristics of household members. Disability was included here. C. School attendance and level of education attained by all household members age 3 years and above. Current attendance for those age 3 - 24 years. D. Labour force characteristics for those age 10 years and above E. Fertility questions for women age 15-49 years F. Living conditions G. Deaths in the household in the past 12 months H. Total number of people in the household by sex

A simplified version of the questionnaire was used for some special population categories, e.g. the vagrants and those in prison.

Palau 2012 Mini Census Report.

The Census of Agriculture provides a detailed picture every five years of U.S. farms and ranches and the people who operate them. Conducted by USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, the 2012 Census of Agriculture collected more than six million data items directly from farmers. The Ag Census Web Maps application makes this information available at the county level through a few clicks. The maps and accompanying data help users visualize, download, and analyze Census of Agriculture data in a geospatial context.

Abstract

For 156 years (1840 - 1996), the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census was responsible for collecting census of agriculture data. The 1997 Appropriations Act contained a provision that transferred the responsibility for the census of agriculture from the Bureau of the Census to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The 2007 Census of Agriculture is the 27th Federal census of agriculture and the third conducted by NASS. The first agriculture census was taken in 1840 as part of the sixth decennial census of population. The agriculture census continued to be taken as part of the decennial census through 1950. A separate middecade census of agriculture was conducted in 1925, 1935, and 1945. From 1954 to 1974, the census was taken for the years ending in 4 and 9. In 1976, Congress authorized the census of agriculture to be taken for 1978 and 1982 to adjust the data reference year so that it coincided with other economic censuses. This adjustment in timing established the agriculture census on a 5-year cycle collecting data for years ending in 2 and 7. Agriculture census data are used to:

• Evaluate, change, promote, and formulate farm and rural policies and programs that help agricultural producers; • Study historical trends, assess current conditions, and plan for the future; • Formulate market strategies, provide more efficient production and distribution systems, and locate facilities for agricultural communities; • Make energy projections and forecast needs for agricultural producers and their communities; • Develop new and improved methods to increase agricultural production and profitability; • Allocate local and national funds for farm programs, e.g. extension service projects, agricultural research, soil conservation programs, and land-grant colleges and universities; • Plan for operations during drought and emergency outbreaks of diseases or infestations of pests. • Analyze and report on the current state of food, fuel, feed, and fiber production in the United States.

Research instrument

Seven regionalized versions of the main report form (questionnaire) were used for the CA 2012. The report form versions were designed to facilitate reporting on the crops most commonly grown within each report form region. Additionally, an American Indian report form was developed to facilitate reporting for operations on reservations in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. All of the forms allowed respondents to write in specific commodities that were not listed on their form.

• Land owned
• Land use
• Irrigation
• Conservation programs and crop insurance
• Field crops
• Bananas, coffee, pineapples and plantain crops
• Hay and forage crops
• Nursery, Greenhouse, Floriculture, Sod and tree seedlings
• Vegetables and melons
• Hydroponic crops
• Fruit
• Root crops
• Cattle and calves
• Poultry
• Hogs and pigs
• Aquaculture
• Other animals and livestock products
• Value of sales
• Organic agriculture
• Federal and commonwealth agricultural program payments
• Income from farm-related sources
• Production expenses
• Farm labour
• Fertilizer and chemicals applied
• Market value of land and buildings
• Machinery, equipment and buildings
• Practices
• Type of organization
• Operator characteristics

The CA 2012 covered all 16 core items recommended to be collected in the WCA 2010. See questionnaire in external materials.

Cleaning operations

1. DATA PROCESSING AND ARCHIVING The completed forms were scanned and Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) was used to retrieve categorical responses and to identify the other answer zones in which some type of mark was present. The edit system determined the best value to impute for reported responses that were deemed unreasonable and for required responses that were absent. The complex edit ensured the full internal consistency of the record. After tabulation and review of the aggregates, a comprehensive disclosure review was conducted. Cell suppression was used to protect the cells that were determined to be sensitive to a disclosure of information.

2. CENSUS DATA QUALITY NASS conducted an extensive program to follow-up all non-response. NASS also used capture-recapture methodology to adjust for under-coverage, non-response, and misclassification. To implement capture-recapture methods, two independent surveys were required --the 2012 Census of Agriculture (based on the Census Mail List) and the 2012 June Agricultural Survey (based on the area frame). Historically, NASS has been careful to maintain the independence of these two surveys.

Data appraisal

The complete data series from the 2012 Census of Agriculture is available from the NASS website free of charge in multiple formats, including Quick Stats 2.0 - an online database to retrieve customized tables with Census data at the national, state and county levels. The 2012 Census of Agriculture provides information on a range of topics, including agricultural practices, conservation, organic production, as well as traditional and specialty crops.

This data package has the purpose to offer data for demographic indicators, part of 5-years American Community Census, that could be needed in the analysis made along with health-related data or as stand-alone. The American Community Survey based on 5-years estimates is, according to U.S Census Bureau, the most reliable, because the samples used are the largest and the data collected cover all country areas, regardless of the population number.

To provide estimates of employment, unemployment, and other characteristics of the general labor force, of the population as a whole, and of various subgroups of the population. Monthly labor force data for the country are used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to determine the distribution of funds under the Job Training Partnership Act. These data are collected through combined computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) and computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI). In addition to the labor force data, the CPS basic funding provides annual data on work experience, income, and migration from the March Annual Demographic Supplement and on school enrollment of the population from the October Supplement. Other supplements, some of which are sponsored by other agencies, are conducted biennially or intermittently.

Abstract

The fourth Population and Housing Census (PHC4) was based on the characteristics of persons with disabilities under the following three broad headings: (i) The number, prevalence, types, and causes of disability, (ii) The demographic, social and economic characteristics of persons with disabilities, (iii) The characteristics of household heads with disabilities and the living standards of their households. The disability measure used in the 2012 Census was based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and used the concept of activity limitations e.g. difficulty seeing, hearing, speaking, walking/climbing and learning/concentrating to identify persons with disabilities.

The 2012 PHC was carried out by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR). Field work was conducted from August 16th to August 30th 2012, financial support was provided by the Government of Rwanda, The World Bank (WBG), UKAID, the European Union (EU), One UN, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and UN Women.

The specific objectives of the PHC include: 1. The number of persons with disabilities and the prevalence of the different types of disability. 2. The causes of these disabilities. 3. The background characteristics (profile) of persons with disabilities. 4. The household headship rate among people with disabilities. 5. The characteristics of heads of household with disabilities. 6. The household characteristics and the living conditions of households headed by persons with disabilities compared to those headed by persons without a disability.

Sampling procedure

As disability affects only a rather small percentage of the population, Census data were particularly valuable in providing detailed evidence on the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of this population group. Sample surveys, unless specifically targeting the population with disabilities, tend to have insufficient sample sizes to examine types and causes of disabilities as well as detailed cross-tabulations of characteristics of the population with disabilities.

Overall, 446,453 persons with disabilities aged 5 and above live in Rwanda according to the 2012 Census, out of which 221,150 are male and 225,303 are female. The count of persons with disabilities by province reflects the geographical distribution of the population in general, with the largest number being found in the Southern Province (122,319) and the lowest in Kigali City (32,170). For the same reason, the number of persons with disabilities is higher in rural areas than in urban areas.
