Table Showing Uses Of Census Data Census Use True False 1 Knowing the number of elderly means you can plan to provide more or less maternity wards 2 Census data will tell you how many people there are in the country and where they live 3 Areas of high unemployment will show up so Govt. can try and create jobs there 4 Areas of good quality housing can be spotted and so more money can be spent here to improve houses 5 Knowing the number of working people and how much they earn, allows you to work out how much tax to collect 6 Areas with few youngsters can be targeted so that more schools are built in these areas. 7 Areas with few ethnic people living there can be seen and so they are given more money to help with translations 8 Increases in population in areas will allow Govt. to provide more infra-structure like roads, water, electricity & gas

Population Census – Why? (Q 3) These allow countries to predict population trends e. g. distribution of people in the country. If the country is ageing they can provide more social and health care e. g. meals on wheels and care homes. If there are many youngsters being born than they provide services such as schools and maternity wards, this includes training staff as well as new buildings. They can also plan to build more housing if the population is rising or if they know that houses people live in are getting older. They can also plan for areas, so if an area has many unemployed they can provide more money to the local council for retraining schemes. They will also be able to work out how much money is needed for benefits too. Services have to be paid for so they can estimate how many people will be paying tax in the futures and so adjust tax rates and pensions accordingly.
