2020 Round of Population and Housing Censuses

The 2020 Round of Population and Housing Censuses was a global effort coordinated by the United Nations to collect comprehensive data on countries' populations, housing, and living conditions. Conducted across various nations between 2015 and 2024, its purpose was to provide accurate information for policy-making, planning, and resource allocation. The census gathers details such as age, gender, income, housing types, and access to services. This information helps governments understand demographic trends, improve infrastructure, and address social issues. Despite challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic, countries adapted their census methods to ensure data collection continued effectively.
