New Plan to cooperate with IPUMS: Establishing microdata set for 1956 population census

New Plan to cooperate with IPUMS: Establishing microdata set from 1956 population census

• A contract with the National Archive Office to obtain a permission to use the census materials;

• Selection of operators for recoding and data entry and conduct trainings;

• Recruitment of a programmer and data processing staff; • A contract with a translator;• Arrangement of the questionnaires of the 1956 Census

according administrative classifications of the capital city, aimag, and soum, and determination of number of households by each soum;

• Sampling from archive materials; • Extract sampled household and individual questionnaires to

make them available at the NSO;• Setting up a system for re-coding the questionnaires;

Establishing microdata set, 1956 • Development and testing of software for data entry,

verification, and processing; • All indicators except for age and sex will be recoded; • Supplement of GIS coding; • Data entry and re-entry, verification, and processing of

sampled HH and individuals forms; • Submission of the files aggregated, along with other

supporting materials to the IPUMS; • Return the census materials to the National Archive.

Importance of the Integrated Global Census Microdata Initiatives

Global use of valuable data on the census;Creation of microdata sets of several censusesConfident and safe storage of them; Prevention of census data from any loss and eradication due to unprecedented situations; Study and experiences/practices sharing to establish and utilize integrated census database;
