The Statistics Division of the
Economic and Social Commission for Asia and
the Pacific (ESCAP) organized a Workshop on
Application of New Information Technology to
Population Data in Bangkok from 12 to 20 October
1999.
The main objectives of the Workshop were to:
(i) sensitize participants to the opportunities
that modern information technology provides
in population data operations and (ii) provide
information that would improve the basic understanding
of new technologies relevant to population censuses
and surveys (awareness training); (iii)
discuss advantages and constraints of important
new information technologies (technology training);
and (iv) consider strategic implications that
IT would have on the planning, conduct and processing
of population censuses and surveys (management
training).
