  29. 4. Data Quality

  30. (1) Coverage Error Post-enumeration Survey of the 2010 Census The Internet option shows lower omission and duplication rates

  31. (2) Content Error Edit and Imputation The Internet responses show lower error rates <Error rates of Internet and interview option by major census items>

  32. ANCOVA (Analysis of Covariance) analysis Controlling for age, education, sex, occupancy, and the type of living quarters, Internet responses show less errors.

  33. 5. Lessons Learned

  34. Reduce personnel expenditure: by $14.2M - 10,000 fewer enumerators: $3.9M saved - Shorter enumeration period: 19 days 16 days $10.3M saved Save data processing cost: by $3.5M 1,774 fewer data capture operators : $3.5M saved (1) Prove to be a cost-effective tool for census

  35. (2) Proven to be a convenient tool for surveys Reduce enumerator’s visits to households < Reasons for choosing the Internet option > 72.2% 11.7% 10.5% 2.5% Dislike visit by enumerators Incentive Safety Convenience (from add-on questionnaire on Internet option in 2010 Census)

  36. Most participants were satisfied with the Internet option 70.9% (5.72M households) of the Internet participants responded. - Of them, 73.5% responded “Satisfied” (Unit: %)

  37. (3) Prove to obtain more accurate responses The range and logic check functions of the Internet option worked effectively to secure accurate response. # of edit specifications : Long-form 227, Short-form 88 • # of mean error in short-form : 0.08 for Internet response vs1.83 for Interview • # of mean error in long-form : 1.27 for Internet response vs 3.56 for Interview Higher coverage according to the PES Respondents with higher education are more likely to choose the Internet option

  38. Seven months later, 54.4% in the 2011 Census of Canada Canada (2011) (4) Success Factors As of 2010, the highest level in the world 0.5% in the 2005 Korean Census Singapore(15.0%, 2000; 38.0%, 2010), Canada(18.5%, 2006), Norway(9.9%, 2001), Australia(9.0%, 2006; 37%, 2011), New Zealand(7.0%, 2006), Switzerland(4.2%, 2000) 54.4% in the 2011 Census of Canada 47.9% 38.0% 37.0% 9.9% 8.0% 7.0% 4.2% New Zealand (2006) Switzerland (2000) Japan (2010) Norway (2001) Australia (2011) Singapore (2010) Korea (2010)

  39. (4) Success Factors High Internet penetration rate for households : 81.6% as of 2010 User-friendly, well-designed questionnaire → convenient to respond Stability of e-Census system Competitive sprit for higher Internet participation among provinces

  40. Push Internet Interview (4) Success Factors Strategy for enhancing Internet responses Pull Incentives • Hand out gifts by drawing • : LED TV(20), Notebook (80), Bicycle(240) … • Give students two hour credits for volunteer work Publicity Campaign - Campaign for e-Census Internet first
