Abstract
THE CLEANED VERSION OF THE POPULATION CENSUS DATA PRODUCED AND PUBLISHED BY THE ECONOMIC RESEARCH FORUM REPRESENTS 10% OF THE ORIGINAL POPULATION CENSUS DATA COLLECTED BY THE CENTRAL AGENCY FOR PUBLIC MOBILIZATION AND STATISTICS (CAPMAS)
A brief history of the census:
The conduct of censuses in Egypt began with the 1882 census (The Scout for Egyptian Homes and the Counting of Its Souls). The next census was conducted in 1897, after which the census was conducted almost every 10 years.
- In 1966, a population and housing census was conducted using the sampling method.
- The 1976 and 1986 censuses were conducted (using two forms, one of which was a long form for 20% of the families and a short form for the rest of the families).
- The 1996 and 2006 censuses used only one form for all families.
This is the thirteenth census in the series of Egyptian censuses. The preliminary results of the 2006 census were announced on 3/4/2007, that is, three months after the end of the census on 31/12/2006.
The 2006 Egypt de facto census collected data through face-to-face interviews on housing, household demographics, employment and education for those six and older, migration, and disability. The census days were November 20 and 21, 2006, and fieldwork continued for the following two weeks. All individuals (Egyptians and foreigners) who were present within the political boundaries of Egypt on census night were counted.
