Series Information
The first contemporary census on the territory of the Republic of Macedonia was conducted in 1921. After the Second World War, eight population censuses were conducted in the Republic of Macedonia: in 1948, 1953, 1961, 1971, 1981, 1991, 1994 and 2002.
The 1991 census coverage was not complete and, therefore, another census in the same decade was conducted in 1994. The 1994 Census was the first census conducted in the Republic of Macedonia after the proclamation of independence.
The 2002 Census is the last census undertaken in the Republic of Macedonia.
