  3. Possible changes of the census method – ”pros and cons“ • During 2016 – detailed comparative analysis of census methods: • Register based census • Interview-Paper questionnaire • Self enumeration (CAWI) • Computer-assisted personal interviewing(CAPI) • CAPI had the most “pros”, e.g.: • positive experience in other statistical surveys • real-time monitoring of enumerators' work • online download of collected data and monitoring coverage • increasing quality: logical as control integral part of the application, validation of the entered data on the spot, reduced enumerators’ errors • shorter time required for data processing, earlier start of dissemination of final results • Some of CAPI “cons” • high cost of procurement of laptops • longer enumeration period • complex training of direct participants

  8. Structure of costs, by census rounds Other costs Dissemination Data processing Travel costs Fieldwork Training Media campaign Equipment Printing Field preparation

  9. Additional costs • At the time of the 2011 Census, by the Law on Income Tax for Citizens, the fees for work in the census were exempt from tax. • However, that Law was changed in 2013, so in the 2021 Census we must pay a tax on wages of all temporary engaged participants (about 20 000 persons) • That will increase the price of the 2021 Census for about 6 million euros. • If we had to pay the wage tax for 40 000 enumerators, the price of the 2011 Census would be near 7 million euros higher.
