Data Collection Notes
The Papua New Guinea Census of Population and Housing is one of the most important national events in the country. In July 2000, the 3rd full National Population Census of the country was held. The first full census for the country was in 1980 and the second in 1990.
The official census date was 9th July, with counting in most parts of the country done from 10th July to 16th July. The field officers consisted of interviewers, supervisors and quality controllers. More than 35,000 field officers were used to do the 2000 Census. For the first time, a house-to-house interview method of counting was used nationwide. This method was made more effective through the household listing exercise, which was done in all provinces six months before the Census.
Census officials visited 22,399 census units to collect the census data. Total persons counted during the census period were 5,190,786. This includes North Solomons Province, parts of which were enumerated in July 2001 due to the prevailing political situation at the time of the main census fieldwork.

Questionnaires
Questionnaires
The design of the 2000 Census questionnaire was extensively tested and evaluated in consultation with the Users Advisory Committee before the NEC finally approved it in April 2000. Apart from basic demographic and social information on age, sex, marital status, religion and education, additional data on economic activity, occupation, industry, fertility and household income activities were collected for the first time on the same questionnaire. A total of 28 questions were included on the 2000 Census Questionnaire. Unlike all previous censuses, the 2000 Census was conducted using a one-page Census Questionnaire, which applied in all geographic sectors.
