I could define census as an official count of the population of a particular residence which is carried out orderly to figure out how many people live in that area and also to find out how to obtain the details of such things as people's jobs and ages. Census records every of the information gotten from the population’s characteristics, sex, age and occupation such as age, sex.

---

Have you ever been counted? When? Explain your experience if any.

---

Sincerely speaking. I have never experienced such before. I hear about the survey of the population of a particular geographic area but I haven't experienced it before. Whether it's done for real or fake, I don't know because I haven't encountered it anywhere at all.

---

What do you think are the importance of carrying out census? State at list 5.

---

I will kindly state five Importance attached to carrying out census, these include;

• Helps To Know The Size Of The Population: Carrying out census could be very helpful in figuring out the number of people living in the country and also to get the structure of the society at large.

• Giving Aid: The Censuses help the international agencies and the government in helping the country.

• Help To DetermineThe Sum Number Of Taxable Adults: It makes it easy to determine the number of people who are eligible to pay taxes in the country. This helps to check the amount of revenue that is obtainable from the tax sector.

• Forecasting possible economic needs: Helps to supply the country’s basic economic needs, such as food, electricity and housing.

• Providing social amenities: The Census data record renders an idea of the social amenities that should be provided to a particular areas, like hospitals, welfare, water, housing, and electricity etc.

Is there any problems associated with census? Briefly explain if any.

---

The Census data collected in my country Nigeria have been totally criticized for it's inaccuracy due to issues like inaccurate enumeration, double counting and undercounting, . This alone have led to a huge lack of trust in the collected census data and it becomes difficult to use for the planning and development purposes of the country.

---

Do you think census can be carried out in steemit?

---

I think, Yes. It can be done in Steemit if the boss of the platform gives a go ahead order.

---

If it possible to carry out census in steemit, how would you do it?

---

Inorder for census to be carried out in Steemit, in every community, each member, moderators and administrators will be counted. This will be done one after the other, to carefully make sure not to count in a particular user more than once.

It's not a one person's work, at least one person will be counting then the others will careful check if there's a repeated name of a steemian.

---

Do you suggest census be carried out in steemit platform?

---

Alot are involved in carrying out census, I would love the platform to carry on with the census data check if the majority accepts it.

It's going to be really helpful to know our active and inactive members, the real and the robot operators. I think it will be a great idea implementing it on Steemit.
