Censuses
A census is a systematic process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data about a population. Governments typically conduct censuses every ten years to gather information on the number of people living in a country, their demographics (like age, gender, and ethnicity), and other important factors such as housing, education, and employment. This data helps inform public policy, allocate resources, and ensure fair representation in government. By understanding population trends and needs, policymakers can make informed decisions that impact communities and society as a whole.
