test 3 Overview The Dutch (Virtual) Census Census based on the Social Statistical Database Used methods Advantages/disadvantages of a virtual census Dutch Virtual Census – Egon Gerards

test 4 History of the Dutch Census Traditional Census Ministry of Home Affairs: 1829, 1839, 1849, 1859, 1869, 1879, and 1889 Statistics Netherlands: 1899, 1909, 1920, 1930, 1947, 1960, and 1971 Experience of 1971: Unwillingness (non- response) and reduction expenses No more traditional censuses Dutch Virtual Census – Egon Gerards

test 5 History of the Dutch Census Alternative: virtual census 1981 and 1991: Population Register and surveys development 90’s; More and more registers used in the Census 2001 and 2011: based on an integrated set of registers and surveys: Social Statistical Database Dutch Virtual Census – Egon Gerards
7
Definition: Comprehensive set of integrated micro-datafiles with coherent and detailed demographic and socio-economic data on persons, households, dwellings, jobs, and benefits Two versions of the SSD: “fast” SSD (fast, regular statistics) micro integrated SSD (high-quality, longitudinally consistent statistics) test 6 What is the Social Statistical Database? Dutch Virtual Census – Egon Gerards
8
Legal base (Statistics Act) Public approval (‘Big Brother is watching you’) Cooperation among authorities (mainly government organisations) Comprehensive and reliable register system (administrative versus statistical quality) Unified identification system (preferably unique ID-numbers) test 7 Facilitating use of administrative sources Dutch Virtual Census – Egon Gerards
9
Census and SSD data sources Population Register Jobs file, containing all employees Self-employed file, containing all self-employed Fiscal administration Social Security administrations Pensions and life insurance benefits Housing register Labour Force Survey data around Census Day test 8 registers survey Dutch Virtual Census – Egon Gerards
10
Micro linkage Micro integration Weighting technique test 9 Combining sources; from data to tables Dutch Virtual Census – Egon Gerards
11
Linkage key Registers: Citizen Service Number, unique Surveys: Sex, date of birth, address (postal code and house number) Linkage key replaced by RIN-person (confidentiality) Linkage strategy Optimizing number of matches Minimizing number of mismatches and missed matches test 10 Micro linkage Dutch Virtual Census – Egon Gerards
12
Micro integration aims at improving data quality in combined sources by searching and correcting for errors on unit level Collecting data from several sources; more comprehensive and coherent information on aspects of a person’s life Compare sources: coverage and conflicting information (reliability of sources) Integration rules: checks, adjustments, imputations Optimal use of information; quality improves test 11 Micro integration Dutch Virtual Census – Egon Gerards
13
Creating register-survey tables Demand for overall numerical consistency one figure for one phenomenon idea all tables based on different sources (e.g. surveys) should be mutually consistent Repeated Weighting (RW): technique to achieve numerical consistency test 12 Repeated weighting Dutch Virtual Census – Egon Gerards
14
Collection of administrative registers Surveys only additional and existing No additional data collection Linking the sources Micro integration Estimation/Weighting 13 Dutch Virtual Census test Dutch Virtual Census – Egon Gerards
15
Relatively cheap (small cost per inhabitant) Quick (short production time) Less problems with non-response It can be done permanently! test 14 Advantages Virtual Census Dutch Virtual Census – Egon Gerards
16
Dependent on register holders (statistics is not their priority) Timeliness of registers Concepts and population of registers may differ from what is needed (keep good relations with the register holders!) Publication of small subpopulations sometimes difficult or even impossible because of limited information in already existing surveys 15 Disadvantages Virtual Census test Dutch Virtual Census – Egon Gerards
