It will provide clear insights into the living conditions of Albania\u2019s citizens in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Conducting a nationwide enumeration of both the population and housing is a significant statistical undertaking for the country. This data will serve as a foundation for institutions to make precise plans for interventions and necessary services for the residents.<\/p>\n<p>This marks the 12<sup>th<\/sup> census in Albania\u2019s history, occurring a century after the inaugural census conducted in 1923. Thanks to technological advancements, this census will adhere to European standards for census development.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 7,000 individuals have been employed to facilitate this process, with an estimated total cost of 16.9 million euros.<\/p>\n<p>Data collection will involve visiting each household. Refusal to participate in the population census may result in penalties, ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 Albanian lek.<\/p>\n<p>Every individual residing in a household will be included in the count, and individuals aged 18 and above can personally respond to the questions.<\/p>\n<p>Enumerators will seek information on personal details, education, health status, employment, and various other aspects of daily life. The census will also feature inquiries about ethnicity, religious affiliation, and language.<\/p>\n<p>However, citizens have the option to decline answering specific questions. The census will not include queries about financial circumstances (income, savings, etc.) or political inclinations.<\/p>\n<p>Enumerators will enter the gathered data into electronic tablets, ensuring data privacy and security through legal protections and encoding methods to prevent individual identification.<\/p>\n<p>The questionnaire comprises eight modules with approximately 100 questions, of which only three are optional and relate to ethnicity, religion, and language.<\/p>\n<p>The initial census data are anticipated to be released in June 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2023 Population and Housing Census officially commenced this September 18 through the Institute of Statistics (INSTAT).
