论人口普查的登记质量

On the Quality of Registration of Population Census

人口普查登记质量的高低对最终发布的普查人口数目的精度有显著影响。它包括人口总数计数的登记质量和项目内容的登记质量。由于人口普查基本目标是获得人口总数,以及评估项目内容登记质量难度较大,因此世界许多国家在人口普查登记质量评估中主要是评估人口总数计数的登记质量。通常是从所做的登记是否属于被调查的人口总体、所做的登记是否信息完全,以及所做的登记其登记地点是否正确这三个方面对人口总数计数的登记质量进行评估。人口总数计数登记质量的效果用人口普查误差表示,包括人口普查总体误差和人口普查平均误差。

The registration quality of population census has a significant effect on the accuracy of the final figure of census population. It includes the registration quality of the total population enumeration and that of the item content. Many countries mainly assess the registration quality of total population enumeration because evaluating the quality of content is rather difficult and the goal of census is to obtain the total population. The registration quality of total population enumeration is usually as- sessed in three dimensions： whether the registration belongs to surveyed population, whether it gains complete information, and whether its place is appropriate. The effect of the registration quality is measured by census errors in total and on average.
