Title: 100 years of the UK Census of Production
Abstract
The first Census of Production in the UK was taken for 1907. To mark the centenary we will review
the evolution of the Census, considering the changes that have taken place and the pressures which
have given rise to them. This evolution has led from an approximately five-yearly census which took
several years to process to an annual census, then the introduction of sampling techniques, and in
recent years ever greater pressure for centralisation, more outputs from the same sample sizes, and
improved quality.
All Welcome
