  3. Demography

  4. Name 2001 There is a need for first name and surname to be collected separately, for data processing purposes 2007 1971-2001

  5. Marital Status 2001 2001 output • Single (never married) 33.1% • Married (first marriage) 48.5% • Re-married 2.7% • Separated 3.8% • Divorced 4.1% • Widowed 7.8% 1971-2001

  6. Initial User Consultation • Users felt that an option for civil partnerships should be included in the marital status question. • This would help to meet increasing requirements for data on sexual orientation.

  7. Initial Thoughts • The Civil Partnership Act 2004 has led to a legal • requirement to incorporate the option of being in a • civil partnership. • Should this be one question or two questions that • keep the concepts of marriage and civil • partnerships separate? Potential 2007 test question

  8. Relationship Matrix 2001 Census Question 1971-2001

  9. Initial User Consultation • Users felt that an option for civil partnerships should be included in the relationship matrix. • This would help to meet increasing requirements for data on sexual orientation.

  10. Initial Thoughts • Need to be able to identify concealed families. • May need response categories for step brother/ • sister. • Demand for an option for same sex civil partner. • In 2001 this question took up 2 pages. • A possible alternative may be using an individual • based question similar to that asked in ROI Census.

  11. Initial Thoughts Household Based Individual Based 2007 Census 2006 Test - ROI

  12. Population Bases & Definitions

  13. Population Base • The enumeration base which has been proposed at a UK level is: • Usual Residents plus Visitors • Main drivers for this were the requirements of users for: • Continuity of population measurement; • Outputs on a Usual Residence base; and • Information on people living at an address but not classified as usually resident. • A usual residents plus visitors enumeration base would: • Provide continuity with the 2001 Census and mid-year population estimates • Have the potential for producing alternative population bases.

  14. Visitors 2001 Census In 2001 the onus was on the householder to fill in the visitor information

  15. Visitors 2007 Test • The need to collect information • on visitors will require • additional space on the • questionnaire. • Information on name, address, • sex and date of birth is • currently regarded as essential • and other information is • emerging as desirable. • Space is likely to be allocated • for up to four visitors. Responsibility of visitors to provide the information

  16. Housing and Amenities

  17. Housing Questions • Bath / Shower & Toilet, Lowest Floor Level and More than One Floor: • Are they still needed? • What are they needed for? • Would a Housing Quality question be more useful?

  18. Bath / Shower and Toilet 2001 2001 output • Yes 99.3% • No 0.7% 1971-2001

  19. Lowest Floor Level 2001 2001 output • Basement or semi-basement 0.8% • Ground level (street level) 93.8% • 1st/2nd/3rd or 4th floor 5.2% • 5th floor or higher 0.2% 2001

  20. More than One Floor 2001 2001 results • Yes 68.7% • No 31.3% 2001

  21. Quality of Housing 2006 Scotland 2007 E&W Test Test Similar to GROS question. This may replace the Bath/Shower & Toilet and Lowest Floor Level questions.

  22. Tenure 2001 results 2001 • Owns outright 29.4% • Owns with a mortgage or loan 39.4% • Shared ownership 0.8% • NI Housing Executive 18.6% • Housing Association, Housing • co-operative or charitable trust 2.6% • Private landlord or letting agency 6.7% • Other 2.5% 1971-2001

  23. Tenure • In the 2001 Census, respondents • may have incorrectly classified • themselves as living rent free. • However some NIHE tenants claimed • that they were living rent free. • The most likely explanation is that • they were in receipt of housing • benefit • The definition of rents has therefore • been changed from 2001

  24. Second Residences Why collect information on 2nd residences ? • The idea of a usual residence is now less • straightforward as people may spend part of their • time at different addresses • Collecting information on second residences • presents the opportunity to produce some output for • alternative population bases • It would provide an indication of available housing • stock.

  25. Second Residences Potential 2007 test questions 2007

  26. Migration

  27. Usual Address One Year Ago 2001 2001 Results • The address shown on the front of the form 90.7% • No usual address one year ago 0.6% • Elsewhere 8.7% 1971-2001

  28. Migration • 2001 Census: • Included two questions • (usual address & address one • year ago) • It showed that • only 8.7% of the population had • an address elsewhere one year • ago • 0.6% had no usual address one • year ago

  29. Migration • 2011 Census: • Migration Topic Group getting under way (UK Level) • Will consider user need for additional questions • May suggest questions for 2007 Test • Need your input to ensure NI needs are represented

  30. Options for Additional Migration Questions? ROI 2006 • Country of previous usual residence? • Citizenship ? • Year of entry into UK ? • Country of parents birth ? • Or adapted ROI question – • ‘Have you ever lived outside the UK • for a continuous period of one year • or more?’
