Statistics South Africa is set to conduct a trial of the first digital census. The Census 2021 trial, which will run from 10 August to 6 September 2020 in selected areas, will test online and telephonic data collection to prepare for remote data collection in next year’s census.
Census 2021 is the first population count to introduce digital census-taking through the use of online and telephonic data collection, which will also allow respondents to complete the census questionnaire on their own.
