Beyond 2011 Consultation: user requirements for future population and socio-demographic information (ID 1612)

Beyond 2011 Consultation: user requirements for future population and socio-demographic information The census currently provides the basis for population and socio-demographic statistics in Scotland. However, the census is becoming increasingly challenging and expensive to conduct. The Beyond 2011 programme is investigating a range of possible methods for producing population and socio-demographic statistics/information that meet the needs of users. The success of the Programme will depend on National Records of Scotland having a clear understanding of user requirements and priorities and it is these requirements that this consultation is intended to capture.
