Key Strengths of the Census Samples
Large Enable study of relatively small populations Internationally comparable Pool data across countries – integrated variables Temporal depth To summarize….. Provide historical perspective
52
Key Strengths of the Census Samples
Microdata All of a person’s characteristics – multivariate analysis Hierarchical Characteristics of everyone a person resided with Cohabitation and family interrelationships To summarize…..
53
Limitations Due to Confidentiality
Samples Too small to answer some questions Geography 20,000 population or larger Sensitive variables, very small categories
54
Other Issues and Limitations
Cross-sectional data Not longitudinal User burden Information overload; culturally specific knowledge Variable labels are insufficient

Trends in Intergenerational Families
Intergenerational families headed by the older generation are becoming more common in most countries, with exceptions mainly in Africa. Intergenerational families headed by the younger generation—the configuration that suggests old-age support—are much rarer, and they are on the decline in most countries.
