Preface

This publication reviews the practices followed by countries in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia (EECCA) during the 2010 round of population and housing censuses. The aim is to compare the different approaches and practices among these countries and, in general terms, with other UNECE countries in Western Europe and North America, and to assess the compliance with the Conference of European Statisticians (CES) Recommendations for the 2010 Censuses of Population and Housing (referred in the publication also as “CES Recommendations” or “CESR”). The review complements the UNECE publication “Measuring Population and Housing - Practices of UNECE countries in the 2010 round of censuses”, and provides a useful tool for users of census data and planners of future censuses.
