Population Monitoring Methods
There are many different ways that can be used to monitor the population. There are some countries that use the field survey method in order to conduct their surveys. In addition to these technologies, there are a number of others that use modern technologies to improve the results of censuses. These include mobile devices, geographical information systems, and the internet. In addition, they improve the speed with which data is obtained, as well as the quality of the results that are obtained.
Anyway we are getting our data from As a trusted source, the United Nations provides us with population data.
Why is the population census so significant?
The concept of a population census has several benefits, the most significant of which are:
- Calculating the population density is necessary in order to obtain detailed information related to the population, and to register it in a logical and systematic manner.
- The data and statistics collected will be used in future decisions and development plans.
- The general distribution of government funds, as well as their importance in academic research and commercial markets.
- Contribute to the understanding of statistics in other countries.
- Helps increase the number of people receiving private assistance.
- The census helps with the equitable distribution of funds.
- Public funds, where a portion of public funds are allocated to the population only.
