  1. Measuring Citizenship in the UK2011 Census in England and Wales Pete Stokes 2011 Census Statistical Design Manager Office for National Statistics

  2. Summary • Background and challenges • What we collected • How we derive Citizenship • Results

  3. Background • Citizenship not collected in any UK Census • Few requests from users for these data • Information on Country of birth used instead • ONS now required to deliver these data to Eurostat • Required to baseline ONS Migration statistics

  4. Challenges • The UK is four countries AND one country • Testing found that respondents did not understand the difference between terms • i.e. Citizenship, Nationality and National identity • Large proportion of population refused to answer a question where “United Kingdom” was only relevant response option • Insisted that they were English, Welsh etc

  5. Data Collected • Question on Passports held asked instead • Can be used as a proxy for citizenship • Can analyse with Country of birth to derive more accurately

  6. Citizenship • Derived using information on Passports held and Country of birth

  7. Results • Analysis shows why data on passports are required to supplement Country of birth

  8. Results
