The previous parts of the Handbook have reviewed the ways in which a population census may collect information on the labour force and other economic characteristics, either through complete coverage or from a sample. As indicated, other sources of such information for national level statistics also exist, in particular household surveys, establishment surveys, economic and agricultural censuses and administrative sources. Part six is concerned with the ways in which the results from the population census may be used to develop, evaluate, improve and better utilize those other sources, specifically labour force and other household and establishment sample surveys. An important underlying issue is how the population census design and procedures may be chosen so as to maximize its usefulness for this purpose.
