The U.S. Census Bureau’s International Programs Center is releasing a series of technical notes on Select Topics in International Censuses (STIC). Each note highlights a new subject, method or operation relevant to census planners in middle- to low-income countries. These notes complement the United Nations Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses by describing certain topics in more detail. Sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the STIC series is designed for staff in national statistical offices to assist them in addressing some of the significant issues in the 2020 round of censuses.
