Abstract

The National Statistical Office carries out a population and housing census every 10 years, according to the United Nations’ recommendation. The 2010 census in Thailand was the eleventh population census and the fifth housing census of Thailand, and marked the 100th Anniversary of the Thailand Population Census Program.

The objectives of the census were: 1) To compile basic information on the population and housing characteristics such as gender, age, religion, nationality, education, marital status, work status, type of dwelling and so on. 2) To obtain basic statistics at sub-region level (Village, area). 3) To measure changes in the composition of population and housing during the past 10 years.
