4. TOPIC 1 Measuring disability in population and housing censuses
What questions were asked on disability in the last census or will be asked if the census will be taken in 2017 or 2018?
Were the questions on disability tested? If so, what was tested and what were the results?
What is the experience on the use of proxy respondents to obtain data on disability about other members of the household?
What is the experience on the translation of questions on disability into different local languages in the country?
If the question(s) on disability included the use of scaled response categories, what was the experience? Are they easily translated into local languages and easily understood by respondents?
What is the overall experience in how the questions on disability worked in the field? Did respondents easily provide the information? Did interviewers ask the questions as intended?
