Transcript of the co-report at the joint meeting of the Presidium of NAS of Ukraine and the Board of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, December 8, 2021

Abstract

The co-report states that real information on the number and composition of the country's population, which can only be provided by the census, is a necessary prerequisite for effective governance, formation and implementation of balanced social policy, forecasting further demographic changes. The information value of the census depends on the completeness of the list of questions on which the population is surveyed, their coordination with all interested ministries and agencies and compliance with international standards. Therefore, the task of academic science is to assist the State Statistics Service of Ukraine in formulating questions in the census questionnaire. At the joint meeting of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and the Board of the State Statistics Service, the proposed draft Program of the All-Ukrainian Population Census, which is planned for 2023, was approved. This program contains more than 50 questions and defines a list of demographic and socio-economic characteristics of individuals, households and living conditions of population.
