Bhutan will hold its second Population and Housing Census in May, next year. As Bhutan joined the world to mark the World Population Day today, the National Statistics Bureau conducted a high level sensitisation workshop on the upcoming Population and Housing Census.
The population and housing census provides information on the composition of population from community to national level. The data are essential to meet the planning needs of the government and private sector organisations.
The first Population and Housing Census was conducted in 2005. It is to be conducted every 10 years.
