Population & demography
Counting People in the Information Age
by Duane L. Steffey and Norman M. Bradburn, Editors; Panel to Evaluate Alternative Census Methods, National Research Council
Description
How do you count a nation of more than 250 million people--many of whom are on the move and some of whom may not want to be counted? How can you obtain accurate population information for apportioning the House of Representatives, allocating government resources, and characterizing who we are and how we live?
This book attempts to answer these questions by reviewing the recent census operations and ongoing research and by offering detailed proposals for ways to improve the census.
