How many computers are there?
Who know how to use it?
With these questions, the 2010 census first determine what level of digital literacy in Argentina and how far we are from a country without technological breakthroughs.
On 27th October, 650,000 census takers will crisscross the country to know who they are and how you live each of the people living in the Argentine territory is estimated to be over 40 million. Asked about the use of computers but also want to know how many are the same-sex couples, who are descendants of Africans, many people are indigenous people and who have a disability. So far all these questions had been ignored decade after decade.
But the new census will seek to clarify these issues at a time when the cornerstone of the organization, the INDEC, underwent a profound crisis of credibility.
Their numbers are constantly challenged from academia and the Association of Population Studies of Argentina, who heads Alicia Fernandez, one of the country's top demographers, said the agency is not able to conduct the census.
Article 47 of the Constitution establishes the obligation to conduct a census of population, family and housing in the years ending in zero. Despite this obligation, the last two censuses were conducted late in 1991 and 2001. Pursue
This census will consume 303 million dollars and three years of work-two to prepare and one to process data. Thousands of census takers will be mobilized and all security forces are available to the OS. That day is national holiday, there will be no shows or shops. The whole country will enter a kind of lethargy even more than an election day.
Why such a deployment? Because it is impossible to design public policies without such data. Nor how many members correspond to each province. The veracity of this information and what is done then it exceeds the need for an x-ray Argentines.
censuses let you know how many people live in a country and under what conditions, from their education, housing, how it shapes his family, what access to health are its members and the degree of fertility of women. No other type of study can show that level of accuracy to the Argentines as they are interviewed each of the people. And the only one able-by the complexity and resources are needed, you can do it is the State.
"All the valuable information they collect will be used throughout the following decade, hence the importance of proper planning for the data High quality and reliability, "said a SEPA document.
From the Government, however, census organizers argue that this new version will point to the inclusion of the excluded sectors. For the first time, ask about the use of computers, which in 2001 was still distant. In addition to determining the digital divide, the aim is to have a reference for next year to measure the impact of Equal Connect program. With this plan, the government seeks to allocate netbooks to all high school students but also open a gateway to the families who have no access to such technology.
In 2001, marriage Gay also seemed far away. Therefore, for the first time these couples may be recognized as such, whether or not married. Until now, if a householder living with someone of the same sex, the system that processed data is not acknowledged.
The census also inquires about people of African descent, those who do not have official records from the 1895 census.
Aboriginal peoples had been included in the 2001 census, but just wondered if there was anyone in the family. This time, ask each member if it belongs to an indigenous group. The same goes for people with disabilities. The questionnaire inquired about disabilities in the lower limbs but was silent on the upper.
census
The idea is that every single person that day are in Argentina are surveyed. Tourists who are visiting, the sailors at sea and to the couples caught in hotel accommodation. All will be counted in the place where they are-even in the case of hotels, the concierge who will pass the information to the census taker.
The census is mandatory and those refusing to answer can be fined. But how do you know who to open the door? In principle, the census taker does not have to enter the house, good manners are the responsibility of each, and buildings it can get in the hall. The census taker must present your ID and a credential that will be announced just two days before the census date. Also take a backpack with the official logo. Census takers will go to two, one for each village, even for their own protection, while the armed and security forces will be patrolling the streets as in a day of election.
At least one family member who knows the information of all must wait for the census taker. Once the questionnaire, we will place a replica on the door and there will be no need to stay at home.
Results will be on 20 December. For the final will have to wait another year. Only then will you know how to review paid to INDEC.
