  1. The Joint Population Census for Mercosur, Bolivia and Chile: an experience of integration Alicia Bercovich IBGE, Brazil

  2. General Objectives Operationalization Joint Pilot Tests Current Status Differences with other Integration Projects Conclusion 2000 Census for Mercosur, Bolivia and Chile

  3. Integration requires clear, reliable, and comparable statistics Members of Extended Mercosur: Argentina Brazil Paraguay Uruguay Bolivia Chile 2000 Census for Mercosur, Bolivia and Chile

  4. Obtain comparable statistical data Optimization of the Methodological, Human and Technological Resources of the countries for Census execution Obtain Institutional support to be able to execute the Censuses as close to the year 2000 as possible Make easier Horizontal Cooperation Potencialize the Technical International Support General Objectives

  5. Define a minimal set of common variables to be compatibilized and simultaneously disseminated Harmonization of definitions and concepts Achieve operational homogenization Ensure compatibility of classifications and coding systems Plan common tables, maps and figures Create a unique database Operationalization

  6. Goals: Testing common contents Comparing Training Methodologies Industry and Occupation Classification Testing Database Design and Production of Tables Carried out in 1998 and 1999, in the borders of Argentina and Brazil, Bolivia and Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay JointPilotTests

  7. Results exceeded expectations: Enthusiastic participation of population Media accompanied census activities Observers not only pointed differences but carried ideas to their own countries Similar Concepts and Definitions were sometimes operationalized in different ways Joint Pilot Tests

  8. Almost all the Mercosur Censuses carried between 2000 and 2002 Data Capture with scanners and ICR: Joint Cooperation Network Common Classification for Industry (CAES Mercosur) Convergent Classifications for Occupation Automated Coding : principles homogenized Current Status

  9. Editing and Imputation Techniques discussed Quality Control and Evaluation Workgroups, Seminar on October 2004 Website for the Common Census: www.censomercosur.org Multidimensional Data Base Aggregated Data Base Pilot tests for new items to be Harmonized: Disability, Indigenous Population, International Migration Current Status II

  10. Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Chile agreed to carry pilot tests on disability measures for Censuses.

  11. Differences with other Projects: unusual way of organization Multiple sources of funding: National Statistical Offices, UNFPA, IDB, JICA, UNDP, OIM, support from Census Bureau, INSEE, Statscan Integration of the teams Progress in the solution of common problems Socialization of Technological Advances Project continuation: Pilot tests for new items to be Harmonized Lessons for 2005/2010 Final Remarks

  12. End
