  1. Quality Assessment of 2008 Integrated Census - Israel Pnina ZADKA Central Bureau of Statistics Israel UNECE Geneva 2009

  2. Content ofPresentation • The integrated census in a nutshell • Improved Population Register (IPR) Quality • Geographic infrastructure quality • Area sample survey data collection quality • Over-count survey data collection quality • Automated procedures quality UNECE Geneva 2009

  3. The integrated census in a nutshell • Population register improved by administrative sources (IPR) • Administrative families • Two independent samples • Area sample to estimate under-count (CAPI) • IPR sample to estimate over-count (CATI) • Editing and imputation • Calculating weights • Final demographic estimates UNECE Geneva 2009

  4. Improved Register Quality • An accumulative register – nobody is deleted • “Inactive” persons records • Deaths • Very old people • “Active persons” • “Suspected inactive” • Border control files • National Insurance Institute files UNECE Geneva 2009

  5. IPR Quality assessment – “active” persons • 8 million “active” records in the population register • 518,000 “active” persons, re-defined as “inactive” in the IPR based on external administrative sources • 0.46% (33k) were miss-classified as “active” in IPR • 0.04% (2.8k) were miss-classified as “inactive” in IPR UNECE Geneva 2009

  6. IPR Quality assessment -address • 80% of the activepersons live in their IPR registered “statistical area” (census tract) • 12% of the activepersons live in their IPR locality in a different “statistical area” • 8% of the activepersons live in a different locality UNECE Geneva 2009

  7. Geographic infrastructure • Building Layer was frozen 18 months prior to under-count survey data collection process (updated up to one year lag) • Improving orientation - 3694 land marks were added to the computerized maps • Pre-census enumeration updating of new residential buildings – 9032 (5%) buildings added UNECE Geneva 2009

  8. Under-count survey quality • Coverage • 5% less dwellings than expected, according to the number of administrative households • 83% of dwellings were interviewed • 78% full questionnaires • 5% partial questionnaires • 4% refusals • 9% no contact (un-occupied, closed, business) UNECE Geneva 2009

  9. Under-count survey quality • Reliability 5% of the households were re-interviewed over the phone using a short questionnaire by a superior. Rare cases of misconduct (less than 0.5% in total) whenever possible they were re-interviewed on the full questionnaire UNECE Geneva 2009

  10. Under-count survey on line assessment testing • Consistency verification during the interview • “Warning” an alarm to the interviewer to verify the response • “Error!” notifying the interviewer of an incorrect response preventing the continuation of the interview • Incorrect control digit of Personal Identification Number (PIN) Not yet quantified UNECE Geneva 2009

  11. On line auditing • Daily auditing of the previous day data transmissions • Set of pre-defined queries, updated along the field work • All (100%) of the questionnaires were audited • Feedback was sent to the regional staff each morning (before the interviewers start their next day of work) UNECE Geneva 2009

  12. Types of queries - examples • Reduced household size • Information not obtained from interviewee • Skipping questions • Missing critical information UNECE Geneva 2009

  13. On line validation • Daily matching with IPR to validate identification parameters • PIN • Date of birth • Given name • Father’s given name UNECE Geneva 2009

  14. Over count survey -assessment • Telephone interview procedure • Recording all interviews , listening to a sample of previous days interviews • Incognito on line listening to a sample of interviews • Miss conducts rare, repeated interviews for interviewers with miss conducts UNECE Geneva 2009

  15. Over count survey -assessment • 77.2% - response rate to telephone interview • 5.1% - without telephones (no telephone registered on their name or a first kin such as parents, children, siblings) • 6.2% - wrong numbers • 11.2% - “no response” UNECE Geneva 2009

  16. Over count survey –resolutions assessment • 82.5 % - Census tract (full address) • 4.4% - Locality • 13.1% - Unknown locality (deceased, abroad less than 12 months, locality’s name does not exist, un-known locality, refused to report) UNECE Geneva 2009

  17. Over count survey secondary uses • Assessment of Under-count field work • 1% of persons were omitted in the under-count survey (entire household omitted or persons omitted from household questionnaire) UNECE Geneva 2009

  18. Timeliness • Data collection over 6 months • Automated procedures • Matching (97%) • Coding (75%) • Editing and imputation (100%) UNECE Geneva 2009

  19. Timeliness • Demographic results for localities - two months after completing of the field operation • Socio-demographic results ten months after the field operation UNECE Geneva 2009
