Register-based Census 2011

 

The register-based census is one of the regular statistical surveys conducted by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia and has the content basis in the Regulation (EC) No. 763/2008 of the European Parliament and the Council of 9 July 2008 on Population and Housing Censuses, Official Journal of the European Union L 218/14, 13 August, 2008.

 

In accordance with Article 4 of the Regulation the methods of data collection are left to EU Member States. Slovenia’s decision on the register-based census as a method of collecting and processing data was adopted with the Medium-Term Programme of Statistical Surveys 2008-2012 (Official  Journal of the RS, No. 119/2007) and the Annual Programme of Statistical Surveys for 2011 (Official Journal of the RS, No. 93/2010). 

 

The method of data collection used in the register-based census where SORS links existing statistical and administrative data collections is also used in most of the statistical surveys. Acquisition and integration of data is allowed by Articles 32 and 33 of the National Statistics Act (Official Journal of the RS, No. 45/95 and 9/2001; consolidated text). All administrative sources from which we take over the data have the legal basis for the primary collection in the laws governing a particular source. The results of this integration and data processing are aggregated data and the identification of individuals is not possible.

 

With the transition to the register-based census, Slovenia joins few European countries that have already implemented this way of collecting and processing data on population, households and dwellings (Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Iceland) or will do so for the first time in 2011 (Austria, Belgium, Sweden, Norway). By doing this, Slovenia has not only reduced the administrative burden but also saved EUR 14 million.
