Census 2011

Kunle · 2011-01-05 10:21:23

Is it just me that thinks this is a total waste of money? Why do we have a census so often in this country? we had one in 2002,2006 and now again in 2011, most other countries only have a census every 10 years. Isnt the census a very outdated method ? There is talk of it being abolished in the Uk.

Interesting that the McDonnell Douglas who undertake the census in the UK came under cyber attack recently. Our census is also done by a US military contractor so you have to wonder are we putting our data unnecessarily in the cyber firing line.
