After months of inactivity on the blog (partly caused by the teacher reader contest, won last June), we resumed, with renewed strength, the content updates. And we do with the confirmation of bad news that had been rumored for some time and that was confirmed in the past XII Congress of the English population: the population census of 2011 will be held by a sample . As
Argüeso said Antonio Jimenez, deputy general demographic statistics of the National Statistics Institute (INE), and breaking a tradition more than 150 years of history English census, the population census of 2011 based on the use of administrative records (municipal census, finances, Social Seguredad, etc.) so much of its content is already prescribed and will only confirm the information in the questionnaire. To supplement this information, we designed a survey to be completed by only 11% of the English population . As argued, this decision was not based in the greater scheme of the system (also), but "for the sake of modernity" (!) similarly to what happens in other countries.
As can be seen, for researchers this decision raises many more disadvantages than advantages. In particular field of mobility, the new methodology almost impossible to study inter mobility, since the information come from a sample, you can not have the matrix of total flows of mobility between municipalities, so Studies such as mobility or usual definition of cohesion or functional areas (with such a long tradition in our country) are unlikely to be created based on census data.
will have to rely, therefore, that this vacuum be filled by new data sources or enhancement of existing , existing in the Catalan case (one of the largest communities in this type of translation studies), Enquesta of Mobilitat Quotidiana, which should be extended with territorial representation to allow more statistical significance for smaller territorial areas.
Therefore, we believe that the decision of the INE is quite unfortunate because , meaning even greater comfort for the people (?) Means an irreparable loss of information for research.
