Census in Pakistan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Census in Pakistan is conducted decennially across the entire nation. The first census was conducted after independence in 1951, and later in 1961, 1972, 1981, and 1998. The 1971 census was delayed one year due to war with India, while the census in 1998 was delayed due to political issues.[citation needed] Pakistan's next national census was scheduled to take place in 2008,[1] and later in 2010 but the plan could not materialize.[2] There were multiple census counts completed for the latest round, with even the latest April 2012 results,[3][4] subsequently being thrown out as "unreliable". A UN led census is to be conducted with staff training and GPS digitization.[5]
