Existing registars (evidences)
in Croatia
•
•
•
•
significant number of registers
maintained by various state institutions
regulated by different lows
no connection between them
Registers relevant for census
(contain census variables + PIN)
• Evidence of permanent and
temporary residents (Ministry of Interior)
- significant surplus of persons (persons who
leave country are not obliged to un-register;
not all dead persons are deleted..)
- legaly impossible to delete persons without
their consent

REGISTERS THAT DO NOT
EXIST
• Dwellings register
• Buildings register
• Register of education
SAMPLE SURVEYS CONTAINING
CENSUS VARIABLES
• Labour Force Survey
• Household Budget Survey
• SILC
(small sample, data relevant on the state
level)
LINKING DATABASES WITH
CENSUS VARIABLES
• Unique PIN exist in all basic databases
on persons
• No legal background to link databases
or to exchange data (No low on Central
Register)
GOOD NEWS
• New Low on Residence is in
procedure
- more severe regarding fictive residents
- easier to delete persons not living
anymore on certain address
• Working Group for Basic Registers
and Electronic Data Exchange
(formed in March 2012 by the Government)
Task:
• to define a Central List of Basic
Registers with all relevant information
(content, coverage, data collection, etc.)
• to define legal and techical bacground
for central system of data excahange
• to conduct pilot on few basic registers
Expected results (by the end of 2013)
• to propose legal background that regulates
central system of basic registers
• to create central system for data exchange
with all security aspects
• to create organisational frame for maintaining
central system for data exchange
Future plan for using registers for
census
• further development of register system (not
only for census)
• register based census in 2021? Probably not.
• Most probable: 2011 Census is the last one
with only paper questionnaires and face-toface interview)
• 2021 Cenus: use of internet, self-enumeration
..... to be define
