  5. Relation between CES Rec. and Principles and Recommendations/Rev. 2 • Prepared in parallel • Interaction of the two processes • General consistency of the two sets • Principles and Rec.: Broader in scope • CES Rec.: More specific, focus on CES countries  2 sets can be used in complementary manner

Relation between CES Rec. and Princ. and Rec./Rev. 2Example 1: Type of population count Principles and Recommendations/Rev. 2 Broad scope  Choice of 3 types of pop. count: • Present population count: People are counted at the place where they are present at census time • Usual resident population count: People are counted where they actually “live” (are “usual resident”) • Better information for planning and policy purposes • More complex • Service population count: People are counted where they “use” services • Ex: Daytime population, working population • Usually considered as additional output

  12. Relation between CES Rec. and Princ. and Rec./Rev. 2Example 1: Type of population count CES Recommendations More specific, for CES countries: Usual resident population count is recommended • Best count for policy and planning purposes • Best count for international comparison of census results

  13. Relation between CES Rec. and Princ. and Rec./Rev. 2Example 2: Definition of « Place of usual residence » For definition of Place of usual residence same general concept in the two sets of recommendations, based on: • Time threshold of12 months • Concept of“Intention of staying”forpersons who changed residence shortly before the census
