| Abstract: | An economic census can be the major source of statistics on the economic activities of a country. Developed countries with well-developed statistical infrastructures have a long history of economic census-taking. For other countries, particularly those with a developing economy and infrastructure, the resources and expertise required to conduct an economic census are not present. Despite this, developing countries are recognizing the importance of an economic census program. Some of these countries have undertaken a full economic census in recent years, while others have limited their census activities to sectors of particular importance. Organizations, such as the Agency for International Development and the World Bank, have provided some assistance to developing nations that are contemplating conducting a complete census by developing standard questionnaires and both tabulation and programming modules, in addition to providing technical assistance and training programs. |
