census system

A census system is a method used by governments to collect detailed information about their population, such as age, gender, occupation, and housing conditions. It usually involves systematically gathering data through surveys or questionnaires from every individual or household in the country. The collected information helps policymakers, researchers, and planners understand demographic trends, allocate resources effectively, and develop policies that meet the needs of the population. Conducted periodically, a census provides an essential snapshot of societal changes over time, supporting informed decision-making across various sectors.
