Census 2010 Committee holds 1st Meeting
On June 12, 2008, initial planning for the Cayman’s next Population and Housing Census officially began. This planning of Population and Housing Census to be carried out in October 2010 has already been described previously.
Preparation and implementation of the census was approved in February 2008.
The planning began with the 1st meeting of the 2010 Census Advisory Committee (CAC).
The committee consists of 10 members. It includes government ministries and related agencies representatives. They will advise the Economic and Statistics Office (ESO) on census content, promotion, publicity, material, and legal aspects. CAC will be chaired by Ronnie Andersson, ESO’s Chief Statistician.
It should be noted that population censuses have been conducted in the Cayman Islands since 1802, while the last one was held in October 1999.
