"As a result of the outbreak of World War II, a procedural history
of the 1940 [U.S.] Census of Population and Housing remained
incomplete. This study..., the first procedural history of the 1940
census, not only fills that gap but illuminates the census data by
explaining the design of the questionnaire, the rationale of the
questions asked, and the procedures for administering the census. The
result is an essential companion piece to the 1940 census and a
practical research tool for demographers, historians, economists,
political scientists, and statisticians."

privacy and the use of computers to process census data. The book is
primarily an analysis of the efforts of the government to make the
census acceptable to the general public. The author notes that
although the 1971 census was satisfactorily conducted, the issues
raised led to the indefinite postponement of the scheduled 1981
census.

Questions of particular relevance to communes, concerning the handling
of data, are considered.

countries of Latin America....The countries are divided into four
groups, and procedures and methodologies are suggested for each of the
main eight stages of a census processing." In general, microcomputers
are recommended at the initial stages of processing census data, with
the exception of data entry for populations over 10 million, for which
the utilization of optical readers is recommended. For the final
stages of consistency, tabulation, and data base management,
microcomputers are recommended only for populations less than a
million.

on surveys carried out in the United States, India, Taiwan, Indonesia,
Fiji, and Costa Rica. They then compare the levels of reliability in
the First Egypt Contraceptive Prevalence Survey (1980) and the Second
Rural Fertility Survey (1982) by examining the data in five categories:
respondent's background, fertility data, contraceptive knowledge,
contraceptive practice, and attitudinal data. Finally, the levels of
reliability in the two Egyptian surveys are compared with those in
studies from the United States, India, Taiwan, and
Fiji.
