Census Recommendations
The population and housing census is an important pillar of a national statistical system, providing data on the population and its social, demographic and economic characteristics. In June 2025, the United Nations Economic and Social Council adopted a resolution urging Member States to conduct at least one population and housing census under the 2030 World Population and Housing Census Programme, from 2025 to 2034. The Conference of European Statisticians Recommendations for the 2030 Round of Population and Housing Censuses provide guidance and assistance to countries in the planning and execution of their population and housing censuses. They reflect the reality and needs of countries of Europe, North America, Central Asia and other countries participating in the Conference of European Statisticians. The Recommendations facilitate and improve the comparability of census data through the identification of a core set of census topics and the harmonization of concepts, definitions and classifications.The Conference of European Statisticians endorsed the Recommendations in June 2025.
