Summary
National Census Enumerators visit each household in the national census conducted by the Statistics Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications to distribute and collect census forms and verify the entries.
Description
National Census Enumerators visit each household to distribute and collect census forms, and check and correct entries for the national census, which is a key government statistic. They receive prior training and plan visitation routes for designated areas. During door-to-door visits, they explain how to fill out the forms and leave a notice if the resident is absent. The survey period is short-term, with compensation often on a per-household or daily allowance basis. Since the survey results directly impact statistical quality, accurate recording and confidentiality are essential.
Future Outlook
In the future, while online responses utilizing ICT will advance, the demand for in-person accuracy verification is expected to persist.
