Census in Pakistan

The census of Pakistan is conducted decennially across the entire nation. The first census was conducted after independence in 1951, and again in 1961, 1972, 1981, and 1998. The 1972 census was delayed one year due to war with India, while the census in 1998 was delayed due to political issues.^[1] Pakistan's next national census was scheduled to take place in 2008^[2], but it too has been delayed to 2010 or beyond due to political issues.^[3]
