Hoorar. The census is the best. It’s existed since Roman times. It should never end.
It shouldn’t be considered our decision to make. It’s historical information for our descendants to look back on 2,000 more years from now. In the present it’s obviously useful for planning, infrastructure, resource distribution, utilities, farming, etc etc…..but it’s so much more than that.
So they can waste even more money changing things that isn’t broken
Only wanted to scrap it to hide facts about demographic change
Costs nearly £1bn to run the census. Other than statisticians who obviously love the data as thats their job to, do we really get anything out of it to warrant that cost
Nooo! As a foreigner working in academia, one of the best things about this country is the availability of data 😭
If you’re going to have a piecemeal approach then you need to have the census going alongside it to validate that it’s working correctly. Even if they do switch systems you can’t just switch without some overlap.
And even then doing the census every 25 years or so just to double check the maths would be incredibly valuable.
