Book Description
The population and housing census is part of an integrated national statistical system, which may include other censuses (for example, agriculture), surveys, registers and administrative files. It provides, at regular intervals, the benchmark for population count at national and local levels. For small geographical areas or sub-populations, it may represent the only source of information for certain social, demographic and economic characteristics. For many countries the census also provides a solid framework to develop sampling frames. This publication represents one of the pillars for data collection on the number and characteristics of the population of a country.

Reluctant Aid Or Aiding the Reluctant?
Author: Steven Varnis
Publisher: Transaction Publishers
ISBN: 9781412833035
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
"Makes a persuasive case that the Marxist government of Ethiopia induced famine and was reluctant to obtain or use this benevolent aid to provide effective relief until its contribution to the achievement of revolutionary goals could be assured. . . . Varnis skillfully documents the intricacies of PVO (private voluntary organization) actions to merge government donor and recipient policies. In so doing, he successfully refutes Third World dependency theory doctrines but paints a gloomy picture of continuing food deficits in Ethiopia's future." --T. M. Vestal, Choice "A welcome contribution. He provides a detailed, clear-headed, and accurate analysis of U.S. famine relief to Ethiopia in 1983-86, when good aid was used by the Marxist-Leninist regime for political, military, and ideological ends. Asks all the rights questions and provides most of the right answers." --Michael Radu, Orbis This book undertakes a systematic analysis of responsibilities for the 1983-86 Ethiopian famine and its relief, drawing upon a wide range of materials and personal observation in Ethiopia itself. The policy sources of the famine are described in detail, assessing regional variations in Ethiopian food policy and the inducement of famine.
