55,000 enumerators complete Moroccan Census 2024

Monday 30 September marked the final day of the 2024 General Census of Population and Housing in Morocco. , 4 October 2024 11:00 , By , Klaus Munch Haagensen, Throughout September, an impressive team of 55,000 enumerators, supervisors, and controllers - easily recognizable by their burgundy-coloured caps - took on the challenging task of gathering crucial data from every household across the country., The census was the seventh of its kind., Data were collected from households across the nation, including urban, rural, and even nomadic populations. The census aimed to gather comprehensive information on the demographic, social, and economic conditions of Morocco’s population. This operation also extended to housing conditions, providing essential data for national development planning., Wide Scope and Participation, The census included all residents within the Kingdom, regardless of nationality or residence status. This included individuals in ordinary households, nomads, the homeless, as well as those residing in institutions like hospitals and prisons. Foreigners living in Morocco were also counted, except for members of the diplomatic corps., To conduct the operation, over 55,000 individuals were mobilized as enumerators, controllers, and supervisors. Participants underwent extensive online and face-to-face training, ensuring that they were well-equipped to handle the intricacies of data collection., The census covered a range of important demographic and socio-economic factors, from household composition and education to health coverage, employment, and access to essential services. A dual questionnaire system was used: a short version for the entire population and a more detailed one for 20% of households., Harnessing Technology for Precision, For the first time, the census utilized advanced technology, including the deployment of 55,000 electronic tablets. These devices, co-financed by the Ministry of National Education, were key to ensuring accurate and timely data collection. The tablets were securely managed, with encryption systems in place to safeguard the collected data., The census also utilized Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to map the entire country, ensuring that no areas were overlooked. This involved geo-referencing 37,109 census districts and over 4.1 million buildings in urban areas. The mapping work not only facilitated efficient data collection but also provided valuable insights into the spatial distribution of Morocco's population and economic activities., Supporting Development and Strategic Planning, The data gathered through the census will be instrumental in shaping Morocco's future policies. The information will help authorities assess the needs of the population and allocate resources in areas such as education, healthcare, employment, and housing. Additionally, it will contribute to the monitoring of sustainable development goals and the evaluation of public policies at both the national and local levels., The High Commission for Planning, which oversaw the census, emphasized that this massive statistical operation is not just about counting people but also about understanding Morocco’s social fabric. The data will provide critical insights into the country's demographic trends, migration patterns, literacy rates, and languages spoken, helping to guide long-term strategic planning., The budget for the Census 2024 is estimated to MAD 1.46 billion - the equivalent to around 135 million Euro., Transparency and Security, In line with international standards, the census maintained strict confidentiality of personal data. The High Commission for Planning assured the public that the information collected would be used solely for statistical purposes and not for legal or economic enforcement. The use of encrypted systems and secure data transmission methods further guaranteed the protection of respondents' privacy., Looking Forward, Now that data collection has concluded, the next phase involves processing and analyzing the information, with preliminary results expected in the coming months., The 2024 General Population and Housing Census will serve as a foundational tool for planning, allowing the Kingdom to address challenges and opportunities in the future., Statistical cooperation between Morocco and Denmark, For the past five years, Statistics Denmark has collaborated with Morocco's Haut-Commissariat au Plan (HCP), fostering a valuable exchange of best practices in statistics and digitalization. This partnership has involved joint efforts in IT, data management, and data quality improvement. During the census kick-off press conference in August, Moroccan Chief Statistician, His Excellency Minister Lahlimi, emphasized that the success of the highly digitalized RGPH 2024 would not have been possible without this vital cooperation., The collaboration between HCP and Statistics Denmark is financed by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the Strategic Sector Cooperation Programme., You can read more about the project between HCP and Statistics Denmark here: , https://www.dst.dk/en/consulting/projects/morocco-2024-2026,  , Source: This news article is written by Klaus Munch Haagensen based on information from the HCP web site.

It is primarily used for assessments of economic developments in industry in Denmark., The statistics are part of the EU's common short-term statistics and date back to 1974, but in their current form are comparable from 1985 onwards for most industries., Statistical presentation, The statistics are a monthly statement of the production and turnover index for the industry. The statistics are divided into five groups defined on the basis of the use of goods and services (eg production of durable and non-durable consumer goods) and the main groups mining and quarrying (B), manufacturing (C) and energy supply (D) and 12 main industry groups under main group C, which follow the Danish industry nomenclature DB07. The turnover index is also calculated by dividing a domestic market turnover index and an export turnover index. All figures are published both adjusted for seasonal fluctuations and in actual figures., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Every month, information is collected on the value of turnover and stock from a sample of approx. 1,000 industrial companies in Denmark. For most, this is done using online questionnaires, but for about 20 per cent. of the companies, the information can instead be collected from statistical registers. The received data is debugged and production is calculated based on turnover and stock figures. Then the data is weighted so that a production and a turnover index can be calculated that represents the entire manufacturing industry in Denmark. The results are seasonally adjusted to eliminate normal seasonal fluctuations, Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The development of the production and turnover indices are primary used for manufacturing industry business cycle analyses and as input for the national accounts.

The balance of payments for Denmark has been compiled since 1934, with a continuous time series available since 2005. Today the main emphasis is placed upon incomes and expenses in relation to foreign countries. Originally, the most important item was the foreign debt, which is compiled as part of the International Investment Position (IIP) – Denmark’s external assets and liabilities. Since 1991 the IIP has been compiled by Danmarks Nationalbank. The balance of payments statistics are compiled in cooperation between Danmarks Nationalbank and Statistics Denmark, the latter being responsible for publishing the consolidated statistics. , Statistical presentation, The balance of payments records the value of the economic transactions, which are made within a given period between the Danish balance of payments area and the rest of the world. There are three main accounts: the current account (trade in goods and services, primary and secondary income), the capital account and the financial account (arranging debts and receivables with foreign countries). The statistics shows the geographical distribution (counterpart countries). Danmarks Nationalbank compiles the financial account and the investment income of the balance of payments., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The statistics are primarily compiled based on other statistics. The sources are used directly and as a basis for calculations of developments. Validation of the sources mainly occurs during the preparation of other statistics, but special validations are carried out across selected sources to ensure consistency between the sources. The validation particularly targets businesses' international organization of production. The sources are processed so that monthly balance of payments statements can be produced, even if some sources are compiled quarterly or annually. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The publication of the balance of payments, particularly the monthly statement, often attracts significant public interest. The statistics are especially used by ministries, politicians, and economic stakeholders. The balance of payments is also used in the compilation of national accounts., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The compilation of the balance of payment is mainly based on other statistics. Accordingly, the accuracy of the balance of payments statistics is very much dependent upon these statistics. Most importantly, there will be uncertainty associated with the first compilations of a period, as important information only becomes available later. Coverage is high as there is a particular focus on coverage in the largest sources. The biggest source of error is measurement errors in the sources that are survey-based. Ongoing validation is performed, so the accuracy of the first publications is lower as it takes time to resolve the validations. The calculations and model assumptions in the compilation are not considered to affect the overall accuracy of the main items in the balance of payments., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published quarterly, approximately 40 days after the end of the reference period. Main results are published monthly, approximately 40 days after the end of the relevant month. The final statistics are published approximately three years after the end of the reference period. Punctuality is exceptionally high. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The compilation of the balance of payments follows the IMF's manual and is compiled back to 2005. There is thus comparability with other countries following the same manual and back to 2005. For the detailed items, there is no comparability with the series before 2005. The statistics on International Trade in Services are directly included in the compilation of the balance of payments. For International Trade in Goods, there are methodological differences, so there is a discrepancy between the two statistics. The balance of payments is part of the national accounts and is directly included as the sector rest of the world in the sector account of the national accounts., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The latest figures are published in a monthly news article "Nyt from Statistics Denmark," and all figures can be found in the Statistics Bank.

An input The table facilitates a compilation of an input-output model showing direct and indirect interactions in the economy., Statistical presentation, On the basis of National Accounts product balances tables are compiled which in monetary terms describes how goods and services have been flowing in the economy between suppliers and users. The table contains detailed data for economic structures which enables the compilation of an input-output model that can be used to calculate direct as well as indirect consequences of changes in the level of final demand., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The national accounts as well as the input-output tables are compiled according to the definitions in EU's "European System of National and Regional Accounts - ESA2010", which is a European version of the UN's "A System of National Accounts 2008". In terms of data the input-output tables is almost entirely based on supply and use tables., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, Input-output tables are used by e.g. Central Government Administration, trade associations, consultancy companies and others as an important part of large macroeconomic and general equilibrium models and also as an independent tool for assessment of the consequences for e.g. employment and CO2-emissions of various changes in final demand., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The inaccuracy of the national accounts figures relates to the inaccuracy of the various sources, which are used. However, the conceptual consistency and, the uniform adaptation of the sources over time contribute to reducing the inaccuracy of the national accounts figures. In particular, the combination of the primary sources into a coherent system in many cases gives rise to the detection of errors, which therefore are not reflected in the final national accounts or in the input-output tables., The uncertainty in the two most recent years (2023-2024) in the series of input-output tables with 69 industries is greater than in tables at the full 117 industry level. This is primarily due to the fact that the data base in the preliminary years is not as complete and comprehensive as in the final years. The two preliminary tables are compiled using a mathematical updating procedure on the latest final version together with new up-to-date information about the row and column totals. , Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The input-output tables are released once every year at the same time as the final national accounts. The time of release is approximately (almost) 3 years after the end of the reference year., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, With a few exceptions the input-output tables can be aggregated into the Danish Industry Classification (DB07) and, thus, input-output tables can therefore easily be combined with other statistics applying the DB07 classification. There is a high degree of international comparability of input-output tables. A lot of effort has been put into keeping the entire time series of input-output tables intact from 1966 through 2011 with no breaks., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, Input-output data is disseminated mostly on the internet through the http://www.Statbank.dk and the input-output subject page https://www.dst.dk/inputoutput in various file formats. The latter is easier to use because extraction of input-output data from the statbank requires some knowledge of what you are looking for., The strongly aggregated input-output tables published in Statistical Yearbook and Statistical 10-year review are great for a quick overview of the material., Read more about accessibility and clarity
