Population and Housing Census [hh/popcen]
Series Information
Nepal has a long history of census taking. The first population census of Nepal was taken in 1911 and this practice was continued roughly every ten years. However, there is some evidence to show that a population count in one form or another took place even before 1911. An enumeration covering adult males reportedly took place during the regime of Bhimsen Thapa (1806-1838). This was possibly done with a view to recruiting adult men into the army. The existence of a Guthi (Cooperative Society) indicates the practice of counting houses in Kathmandu Valley even before the Bhimsen Thapa period (1806-I838). However, these censuses were conducted for limited purposes and were also confined to small areas of the country. Even the scope of four censuses (1911, 1920, 1930 and 1941) which were conducted during the Rana Regime (1846-1950) was also limited. Although, these censuses used a short census schedule to collect information on the name of the head of the household, age of persons by sex, occupation, ability to work, number of livestock and means of transportation, the final results were presented in aggregates, i.e. head counts only.
The first scientific census taken in the modern sense of the term started with the 1952/54 census which was conducted in two parts of the country separated by two years in time.The eastern part of the country with the exception of Mahottari district was covered in 1952. Mahottari district was counted along with the rest of the country in 1954. A brief description of the census operation covering mainly the censuses of 1952/54, 1961 and 1971 is presented below: Prior to 1952/54 there was no separate Field Organization for conducting censuses. The censuses prior to 1952/54 were conducted through administrative fiat authorizing the district administration to collect various types of information including population counts. The district administrators in turn seem to have relied mainly upon the land revenue agents for providing such information concerning all persons in a village or a group of villages under the jurisdiction of these agents.
a) 1952/54 Census
The need for a separate organization for conducting censuses was realized only at the time of the first modern census of 1952/54 and accordingly, a central office was set up to carry out the tasks of census taking. Under the Central Office separate field offices and sub-divisional offices were created for the purpose of conducting censuses. The field level officers were in charge of recruiting and training the enumerators. In 1952/54 village chiefs and revenue agents acted as. enumerators. Their work was supervised and thoroughly checked by trained workers (supervisors) employed by the census organization temporarily for this purpose.
b) 1961 Census
Village chiefs and land revenue collectors/agents were also involved in the tasks of census taking in 1961. Village chiefs (Mukhiyas) and revenue agents (Patwaris) acted either as enumerators or assisted in the tasks of field supervisors. The supervisors were recruited National Population Census 1981 - Overview - 2 - from local people in each district and had been given theoretical and practical training at the same district headquarters. There was one supervisor on average for each census sub-zone. The tasks of a supervisor were closely scrutinized by a section officer deputed to each census zone. In 1961, 15,933 enumerators were involved in the tasks of census taking. The fifty-five administrative districts of the time were divided into 18 census zones and 102 sub-zones comprising 456 census areas and 28,400 villages. The village was the unit of enumeration in 1961 but the district was the smallest unit for which data was made available.
c) 1971 Census
With the introduction of the Panchayat System in 1962, the country was divided into 14 zones and 75 districts and 28,400 villages were regrouped into nearly 4,000 village Panchayats. The census of 1971, therefore, rearranged some of the districts and created 17 census zones and employed one zonal census officer in each zone for supervising and administering the census operation. He (the zonal officer) was assisted by one non-gazetted class I official and other subordinates. Seventeen training centers were established for training the supervisors and enumerators. The zonal officers and their assistants were recruited and trained at the center. There were about 12,000 enumerators and 500 supervisors who were involved in the actual enumeration. However, the level of education of the enumerators was very poor. The minimum educational qualifications required to be an enumerator were the ability to read and write only. The census schedule was pre-tested in two village Panchayats and one urban area. The 1971 census data was obtained at the ward level. Though the population count by sex at the ward level was published in separate booklets, the main census publications containing standard tables about various socio-economic cum-demographic characteristics of the population were made available at district level only. For the first time in 1971 the census data was processed through computer.
e) 1981 Census
Since 1952/54, the censuses of Nepal have been collecting data on "Place of birth" for all persons counted in the census. This topic is also found in the list of priority items recommended by the UN for 1980 round of censuses (ESCAP, 1978; pp. 32-35). To improve the data on migration, 1981 census collected more information such as -duration of residence and reason for migration. The practice of computer processing was also continued in 1981.
d) 1991 Census
The two question on migration introduced in 1981 were dropped but a question was added on "place of residence one year ago" for all persons aged one year and above. The unit of prior residence was the district and the data so collected was published in 75 (districts) by 15 (ecological-development regions) matrix.
Census preparation and field work activities were apparently better as the Technical Committee was formed well in advance for the improvement of census questionnaire and related activities. Census promotion activities were quite extensive. All available media were used for information and education purposes, including local folk media. Audience-specific materials for different ethnic and religious groups were also developed and microphone announcement in local areas was also done.
Data Processing, although cumbersome and time-consuming in nature, did not take much time this time, due to computer technology.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The 1991 census collected data based on short form for the complete enumeration of the benchmark information and the long form for the sample enumeration of other socio-economic and demographic information. The long form was administered for population dwellings in about 20 percent of the total housing units. Based on these, estimates were generated at the district level with reliable degree of precision.
The sampling scheme of the 1991 Population Census for the long form is summarized below.
1. The sampling covered the private households only. For the institutional population, Schedule-1 only was administered.
2. For the sampling, 75 administrative districts formed the main strata and VDC's and municipalities within the district formed the domains.
3. There were around 36,000 wards in the country at the time of the census. For the purpose of the census enumeration some of the large wards were further divided into sub-wards. These wards and sub-wards formed the EA's for sampling. The total number of EAs thus formed was around 40,000.
4. Sampling was carried out in each EA; housing unit being the sampling unit.
5. The list of housing units and households served as the sampling frame for the EA. The housing units were selected by systematic sampling method. The sampling interval taken was 8.
6. The list of selected housing units was made available to the enumerator for the enumeration. All households and persons found in the selected units were enumerated.
7. The ratio method was used in making estimates for the sample.
8. Tabulation groups were created separately for tabulation of persons and those for households. The main control variables for the majority of tabulations for persons were two variables: age sex. Tabulation groups for household tabulations were formed in a different manner: taking households as a tabulation group in the domain.
9. To implement the ratio estimation, first weights were calculated. The weights for sample data were computed by dividing the 100 percent counts for the same tabulation groups in the domain by sample counts for the same tabulation groups in the domain. To avoid inconsistency due to rounding, the figures were converted to whole numbers.
This detailed sampling procedure is documented in the Technical Documents.

Response Rate
At the time of census there were 3,914 VDC's and 58 municipalities. VDC's contained a total of 35,226 wards while urban areas contained 806 wards. Thus total numbers of wards in the country were 36,032.
For form 2, there is no available data for response rate.

Supervision
Each district was divided into one to three Area Census Offices depending upon the population of the district. All the District Census Offices were eventually supervised and controlled by the Population Census Section of the Bureau at Kathmandu.
The field supervisors checked each enumerator's work in his area for major inconsistencies.

Data Collection Notes
In 1991 census, as in 1981, a gazetted class III officer was posted to each of Nepal's 75 districts. A rigorous training on various aspects of census field operation was given to them in Kathmandu before they left for their respective districts. Each district census officer established a district census office and divided each district into 2 or 3 census areas depending on the population size, except in Manang district which was treated as one area due to its small size. The 1991 census training programme was organized at for different levels of staffs in the census at different points of time. These included the training of the master trainers, district census officers, area supervisors, field supervisors and the enumerators. To start with, a group of master trainers were trained in the Bureau. The master trainers together with the Mainstreaming Gender Equity Programme (MGEP, an UN-agency) staffs, and the Sahavbagi, a leading NGO, also participated and facilitated the central and district level training of the census field staffs. These training were mainly focused for maintaining uniformity on the census procedures, terms and definitions used in the census questionnaires and developed understanding among all the trainees.
The enumerators employed were largely school teachers from local areas and where teachers were not available person who had completed a minimum of School Leaving Certificate (SLC) examinations were employed. In contrast to this, in 1981 the minimum educational qualification was just literacy although most of them had completed 8 years or more of schooling.
Employed as supervisors were those who had education level of intermediate or above. Also, some Master's level students from the Departments of Populations Studies and Statistics were employed.
In 1990, a pilot census was carried out in 4 districts (2 rural wards and 1 ward from Biratnagar town of Morang district, 3 rural wards each of Dolakha and Rolpa districts and 1 ward of Kathmandu city) to test the content and wording of the census questionnaire. Subsequently, the language was slightly modified but the items were kept intact.
Census promotion activities were quite extensive in 1991. Various communication channels were utilized for this purpose. Almost all available media like radio, television, daily newspapers, cinema slides, posters, calendars, postage stamps etc. were used for information and education purposes. Additionally, audience-specific materials for different ethnic and religious groups were also developed. In 1981, most mass media channels were used except TV which did not exist then. But in 1991, microphone announcement in local areas was also done and local folk media were utilized.
Interviews averaged 35 minutes for the household questionnaire. Interviews were conducted primarily in Nepali.

Questionnaires
Questionnaires
In 1991, both household listing and actual census field operation took place simultaneously, unlike in 1981 where household listing preceded total enumeration. Nevertheless, the number of items included in the household list was as comprehensive as before.
Two types of schedules were prepared. Form 1 for complete enumeration and Form 2 for sample enumeration. Both schedules contained questions on household as well as individuals.
FORM 1: (COMPLETE Enumeration)
A. Household Information (Question relating to Household), House type & ownership, Agriculture land holding, Livestock/poultry raised for agriculture purpose, Female ownership on house, land and Livestock/Cattle, Small scale economic activities other than agriculture, Absentees from Household (HH), reasons & country of destination.
B. Individual Information (Question relating to Individuals), Name, sex, age, relationship to the Household head, Caste/ethnicity, religion, Language spoken and citizen.
FORM 2: (SAMPLE Enumeration)
A. Household Information (Question relating to Household), Household facilities (Radio, TV, etc.), Deaths in last 12 months in the Household.
B. Individual Information (Question relating to Individuals), Place of birth, Migration, Literacy, Educational attainment, Marital status, Age at first Marriage, Children born, Economic/Non-economic activities, occupation/Industry, employment status, Reasons for not being active, Living arrangement of children below 16 years of age.
Questionnaire contents and the pre-testing of census enumeration procedure were conducted in four districts, Bajura from mountain, Mahottari from terai and Dhankuta as well as Kathmandu from the hilly region.

Data Appraisal
Data Appraisal
The quality of the 1991 census data is evaluated in two steps. The first step deals with the evaluation of the quality of the census data on selected aspects such as age reporting, fertility, mortality, etc. The second step examines the extent of coverage in the census enumeration.
A Post Enumeration Survey (PES) was designed to evaluate the 1991 census data quality with respect to completeness of coverage. It was scheduled to be conducted in August 1991 but the actual revisiting of sampled areas for reconciliation of the differences was completed by April 1992.
