Zimbabwean Census

Zimbabwe is recently underwent a census exercise. The last one was done in 2002; hence here it’s done after ten years. I hope some day it’s done after every five years because the data obtain is important. It aids the government in its national planning on issues such as development. This also includes town planning, resource distribution and the effects of epidemics such as HIV/AIDS.

I am particularly excited because the census will expose the effects of the economic turmoil Zimbabwe has experienced over the past decade. Migration patterns, be it internal and external; family sizes, mortality and all the demographics will be there to explain how our population was affected by our past economic troubles.

Therefore I hope the census exercise progressed well.
