1. Relation of Census of Agriculture with the Population and Housing Censuses

2. Population Census: Agricultural Census i. CensusEnumerating all people in the country All Household in the country ii. Census PeriodEvery ten yearsEvery twenty years iii. Statistical UnitHouseholdAgricultural holding

3. 2001 Agricultural Census 1. Frame - list of households from the 1996 Population Census - list of households was updated in the Household Income and Expenditure Survey carried out by Statistics Department in 2000 2. Use of common concepts, definitions and classifications - definition for household used in the 2001 Census of Agriculture was inline with international standards and also with the one used in the 1996 Population Census - By using the same definition it ensures that data from the two censuses are consistent and comparable - easier to analyze and interpret agricultural census data in relation to population census data 3. Sharing field materials - 2001 agricultural census make good used of the 1996 Population Census field materials 3.1 Block Area Maps - Available from the Statistics Department. - Important for the enumerators to learn, read and use their map accurately. - Each enumerator issued with a map of the assigned block area and it’s a must for them to know their boundaries. - If boundaries cannot be identified, they inform supervisor. - Do not proceed to the enumeration of households until sure of the exact boundaries. - If miss household(s) in the block, required to return and enumerate them before the supervisor can accept the work as complete - If cannot identify the boundaries, inform the supervisor. - Do not proceed to the enumeration of households until sure of the exact boundaries.

4. Route for Visiting Households -The Block Area map was given to outlines the route to be followed. - Never visit household in haphazard manner. - should be visited in a logical sequence for example going along the roads in a clockwise direction. - enumerators may have to work out their own special route to visit households with difficult access. DIVISION: TONGATAPU DISTRICT: VAINI VILLAGE: HU”ATOLITOLI CENSUS BLOCK NO: 1301-11 TAUFA’AHAU 03 04 05 02 06 01 BEL UA H MA LAP O

5. 3.2 Household List - In addition to the block map, Household List also supplied. - This household list has been used in 1996 Census of Population and revised in the 2000/2001 Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES). - Check whether the household is still there and check for the name of the head of the household. - Also check whether this household has been subdivided into more than one since the last census. - The following steps should be taken in updating the list of households. A) If the household is subdivided, a new number is given in the list. For example, if household number 06 has been subdivided into two households, enter the name of the head of the household at the end of the list and write in the Remarks Column that this new household came from household number 06. The household number should follow the last number in the list.

6. B) New households might have come up since the last updating. - The names of the heads of the households should be written at the end of the list and the household number should follow the last number in the list. - Write in the Remarks Column that this is a new household in the block. C) In every correction that will be done in the Household List, the area map should be updated and/or corrected. - Plot the new household or the subdivided household in the correct place where it can be found in the map.

7. 4. Existing agriculture-related data in the population census - Three items were included in the 1996 population census were of special interest for agricultural analysis: i. Main occupation: This item is collected for each economically active person. It includes household members of agricultural holdings working in an agricultural occupation as well as persons working as employees in agricultural occupation. ii. Main industry: Industry is the activity of the establishment in which the person works in his/her main job. iii. Status in employment: useful for analyzing persons with an agricultural main occupation according to whether they are: - agricultural holders (own-account worker) - working on the household’s holding (contributing family worker) - paid agricultural work (employee) - One weakness in agricultural employment data from the 1996 population census is that they were collected in respect of a person’s main activity during a short reference period, such as a month. - Because of the seasonality of agricultural activities, all persons working in agriculture were not identified

8. 5. Relationship with the Housing Census - Housing census was carried out as part of the 1996 population census - data collected - housing materials only - the link between agricultural and population censuses also provide link between agricultural census and housing census - this link enable data from the housing census to be used for tabulation and analysis of the agricultural census

9. Conclusion: The linkages between Agriculture, Population and Housing Census provided - consistent and comparable of data - analyze and interpret of agricultural census data in relation to population and housing censuses data are much easier - wider range of agriculture-related data for the analysis process
