The Office for National Statistics (ONS) ran an extensive consultation on the content of the 2021 Census in England and Wales during 2015.
Following this, we’ll now be holding 4 regional roadshows to share the latest news on the proposed content for the 2021 Census questionnaire.
This will be an opportunity to ask experienced ONS staff questions and to find out about progress towards an administrative data census beyond 2021.
The roadshows will cover:
- a summary of question development and testing since publication of topic consultation outcomes and progress towards 2021 Census questionnaire design
- developments towards meeting user requirements for data on sexual identity, gender identity and veterans
- research and question development for the ethnic group question, including consideration of additional response options and online question design
- ONS’s assessment of using Valuation Office Agency data to produce estimates of numbers of rooms
- updates on other census topics including education, volunteering and central heating
- latest news from the Admin Data Census Project on progress towards an administrative data census beyond 2021
