Re: Ten year Census to be axed

Next thing will be they will get rid of statisticians who will be out of work not having Census figures to work with anyway.

I've always wondered why families don't keep their own records .... but perhaps that's where literacy rates come in.

(Sorry, feeling grumpy this morning.)

Re: Ten year Census to be axed

At a guess, the manual survey was probably only an approximation, the same level of accuracy and information is now probably contained within the databases that support all the electronic Toing and Froing that goes on nowadays, and even more so by 2021.

I wish families had - to keep everything in a box, for future generation to open - thats a great idea .....
