Population and Housing Census [hh/popcen]
A census is the complete count of a country's population conducted with the objective of providing information on the size, distribution, composition and other demographic, social and economic characteristics of a nation. Timor-Leste has conducted two censuses in 2004 and 2010 since its independence.
The Government of Timor-Leste with support from United Nations Population and Fund (UNFPA) undertook the second Population and Housing Census in July 2010. The objective of 2010 Timor-Leste Population and Housing Census is to collect demographic and socio-economic data required for decision making.
