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 the Fiji. 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 assess 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 formerly “hidden half" of the Fiji Islands population and formulating housing policies and programmes and investment of development funds. All censuses in Fiji so far have been conducted on a de-facto basis. The 2007 Census was also a de-facto census, but it included the above-mentioned de-jure element. This means that all persons present in the country at midnight 16 September have been included in the census. They have been enumerated at the place (household) where they spent census night, irrespective of their usual place of residence. However, the usual place of residence of all these persons on Census Night was also recorded.

Abstract

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 the Fiji Islands.

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 formerly “hidden half" of the Fiji Islands population and formulating housing policies and programmes and investment of development funds.

Geographic coverage

The Population Census covers the whole of the Fiji Islands, which includes the 15 provinces and both urban and rural areas.

Analysis unit

• Individuals in a private household dwelling, institutions and non-private dwellings
• Households.

Universe

The Census covers all individuals living in private and non-private dwellings and institutions.

Kind of data

Census/enumeration data [cen]

Sampling procedure

There is no sampling for the population census, full coverage.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

The questionnaire's structure is similar to the 1986 one but with new additional questions due to changes in the social and economic charateristics of individuals and households. The questionnaire was developed in English, but enumerators were specifically trained to be able to clearly translate these questions to other languages like Hindi, Chinese and other languages used in the country.

It was designed in 6 parts which are:

1. Person Particulars
2. Economic Activity
3. Fertility
4. Money Activity
5. Disability
6. Household & Housing Characteristics

The topics of questions for each of the 6 parts include:

Person Particulars: - name - relationship - sex - ethnicity - religion - educational attainment

Economic Activity (to all persons 15 years and above): - economic activity - economic inactive - employment status

Fertility: - Fertility - Mortality

Money Activity: - production of cash crops - fishing - own account businesses - handicrafts.

Disability: - type of disability - nature of disability

Household and housing: - electricity - water - tenure - lighting - cooking - sanitation - wealth ownerships

Cleaning operations

-Verification and Coding

The data editing process begins when the enumerators brought back the completed books for checking by the superintendents. This include checks that all fields are correctly filled and ensure that fields that are supposed to be skipped are entered correctly, and so forth. Once the questionnaires are verified to be correct, the questions are then coded to ensure that these could be correctly entered into the data entry screen.

-In-built Editing

The data entry screen was designed in such a way that in-built checks are incorporated to efficiently capture the data. The in-built checks include range checks where any values outside the range for a particular question will prompt the data entry operator that he or she has punched a wrong code. It will also include skip-questions where certain response to a question should determine whether they have to automatically skip the next question or not. For example, all males and females age less than 15 will automatically skip the fertility questions as it is only valid for females aged 15 years and above.

-Secondary Editing

Once all information have been keyed in, edit programs are designed and executed against the data for secondary checking. These checks include hot-decking and imputations if there are some invalid errors detected.

Sampling error estimates

Not Applicable; No Sampling done.

Data appraisal

A Pilot Census was conducted but unfortunately the data was not processed; hence, the office was not able to evaluate and conduct any data appraisal to gauge whether the data collected is reliable. Nevertheless, the questionnaire was reviewed and revised based on the reports from the enumerators in the Pilot Census.

Fiji: PISA reading scores: The latest value from is index points, unavailable from index points in . In comparison, the world average is 0.000 index points, based on data from countries. Historically, the average for Fiji from to is index points. The minimum value, index points, was reached in while the maximum of index points was recorded in .
