According to the October 27, 2010 Census, Argentina's population was expected to be 46.8 million citizens by 2020. A little more than 12 years have passed since the forecast. The range of estimated errors has increased due to the postponement of the 11th population, households and housing census scheduled for 2020 and excluded due to the coronavirus pandemic. The main idea of the survey is to calculate the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of all people living in Argentine soil at any given time: housing, households, and residents. The Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC) defines it as “we will be able to know how many we are, what kind of people we are and how we live.”
The “Digital Census” button will begin on the first minute of Wednesday, March 16, 2022, when it is active, and it will appear in the upper right corner of the censo.gob.ar website. This is the first time a digital and face-to-face dual-mode census will be held in this country. For 63 days of correlation, the option will be invalid on Wednesday, May 18, at 8:00 in the morning. Citizens can fill out forms from any digital device connected to the Internet.
Colombia, Mexico and Chile have already implemented similar records. The global trend is towards a digital record of a population protected by a wide network of connections. 70% of US residents respond digitally to questionnaires, and in Spain, surveys are exclusively digital. In Colombia, in the pre-pandemic era - before the growing habit of digital tools due to lockdowns - the percentage of digital data load was only 15%.
Between November and December 2021, an experimental census was organized across the country to test the application of a dual-mode combination related to digital surveys and territorial cleaning.In Galves, the San Jeronimo department of the Santa Fe province, 35% of the 8,140 houses preferred to provide data digitally. However, in both cases, the advocacy campaign fell. Only 22% of the 10,681 houses did so through electronic systems. There was no. The INDEC authorities succeeded the dual modal program I do not dare to predict the proportion that it represents, but the feeling is auspicious. 80% of people who went through the experimental phase of the census said they would choose a digital option to respond to.
Uploading information online does not replace in-person visits.This booklet underlines important words and explains: “The digital census does not exempt us from having to stay home on the day of the in-person census.” That day is Wednesday, May 18, a national holiday guaranteed by Decree 42/2022, and census takers visit all homes in the country between 8 am and 6 pm. 456,000 of the 600,000 people who make up the census structure are census takers in the city group.In turn, specific census takers, group housing agents (geriatric diseases, prisons, hospitals, and religious centers), residential hotels, hostels) and rural There will be a special regime for people in street situations where there is a survey in the area. Such visits will take place between May 16 and 17. Volunteers, college students and preferably teachers will visit 36 urban dwellings called normal or 18 urban dwellings considered complex (popular areas or hard-to-reach areas). They will work for up to 8 hours and receive an economic remuneration of 6 thousand pesos.
They wear a representative box and credentials containing personal data (name, surname and ID). Authorities suggest that a survey should be conducted at the door of the house for reasons of health prevention. The FAQ portal says, “It is not necessary for census takers to enter the house”. It is estimated that the questionnaire for a typical family of four will not take more than 15 minutes.
Online responses suppress response times for simple in-person procedures. Anyone receiving a census must prove evidence they can get when completing a digital census. This is a 6-digit alphanumeric code that does not need to be printed or displayed. Only by specifying a name, census takers can verify a complete and correct loading of information. This code is similar to the previous procedure, which allows you to load information into a system that validates the address and allows the process (the only difference is that it adds a number at the end), a unique five-digit code associated with the house, stored at another time and continued.The authorities assume that it should not take more than 10 minutes to complete the online form.
Up to 61 unique questions for all residents of the country. The 2010 census, which is remembered to coincide with the day of Néstor Kirchner's death, had two modalities: the basic form and the expanded one. The basic was common and there were 35 questions.The enlarged was answered by 10% of the population and 67 consultations participated. This new survey will bring about fundamental changes in addition to digital transformation. This will not be a “de facto census”, but a “census of law.” For the first time in this country, the habitual inhabitants of each house are counted to portray a more reliable image. Therefore, those who slept in that house that night will no longer be described to reduce situational events. “It is much better in methodological terms because it allows better identification of where the population consumes public services, for example.” I say that.
The 61 questions are divided into two modules. That is, a question for each individual who is a household and family member regarding access to services, housing characteristics, and other conditions. The printed form has 12 pages, and the order is changed in an online spreadsheet. Compared with the previous census, there are new questions and language changes. 12 years have passed, laws have been passed, and there are new needs of society.
For example, gender identity. “What gender is registered at birth?” has three possible answers: “female/female”, “male/male” and “X, none of the above”. This amendment approves the existence of non-binary documents under Presidential Decree No. 476/21, published on July 21, 2021. It is the first country in the region to recognize an identity beyond the binary gender category in its registration and identification system.Another question is “According to gender identity is considered...” There are 9 options and they recognize the right to have a self-aware gender identity in national documents and respond to Law 26,743 sanctioned by the Senate on May 9, 2012, two years after the previous census.
There are other questions aimed at self-awareness: 22 and 25.The first says: “Do you consider yourself a descendant of indigenous people or indigenous people? ” .Second question: “Do you recognize yourself as an African descendant, or do you have black or African ancestors? ”. Both questions were added to the general form after incorporating an expanded questionnaire from the past census that collected only 10% of the data from the total population.
This extended version also brought together issues related to the limitations and difficulties faced by residents. The INDEC form omits the word disability and appeals to the terms “restriction” and “difficulty” adopted in accordance with the recommendations of international expert organizations for measuring disability, such as the ECLAC and UN Regional Representatives. They reveal whether people at home have difficulty walking or climbing stairs, remembering or concentrating, others having difficulty communicating, understanding or understanding, hearing even with hearing aids, seeing with glasses, eating alone, bathing, or dressing.
Special attention was also given to language and semantics. In the 1991 census, the word “female boss” was added to questions about the relationship with the “head of household”. In 2010, the order was changed. First, the word “boss” appeared. In this last census, the term “head of household” was maintained and the concept of “household reference” was added to gradually replace the implication that a pattern exists in the household. The consultation ended as follows: “What is the relationship or kinship with the head of the household, the boss, or the reference person?”
There is no question about the coronavirus or vaccination schedule. The last name of the registered person is not asked because it is subject to statistical secrecy. All information is confidential and provided in aggregate form. Issues related to national peculiarities, such as pets, religion and favorite football teams, also did not pass through the filter. “There were many questions left outside. The census must accompany the culture of the country and football is part of Argentine culture. It seems like a simple question, but it is not. We will have to include all the football teams in the country in the form, which will be very long” Responding to the number and type of pet or chosen religion can also interfere with the processing of the data.
The survey is supported by closed questions. Of the 61, there are only three that can be completed by neatly entering letters within the allocated space. Public questions are the main economic activities in the home, which are perceived by indigenous people themselves (digital census has 68 pre-filled options and “Other” options). What is the country of birth if it is not Argentina (only 8 countries in South America can be represented by one x eight).
Virtual uploads of data will be available from Wednesday, March 16 to Wednesday, May 18. The line 0800-345-2022 will be open Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 24 a.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., advising on online charging. The number of people who prefer to fill out forms through digital channels determines the speed of delivery of the first conclusion. On Thursday, May 19, 2022, Indec plans to report how many residents live in Argentina. We will work with an information package. After 3 months, we will have preliminary estimates for basic rates such as gender, age, and region. After 8 months, the first final data will be delivered, and a year and a half later, all variables will be processed by scanning and decoding the main economic activities of each household.
It is estimated that more than 47 million people live in the country. 153 years have passed since the first in Argentina. Between September 15 and 17, 1869, under the title of President Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, there were 1,830,214 inhabitants, 6,276 military members carrying out operations in Paraguay, and about 41,000 Argentine citizens abroad; 93,138 indigenous residents were not recorded.
