Extract

It may be well to recapitulate briefly the questions asked at the recent Census, and the statistics which were published, showing the results of the previous Census. The questions asked on the 1931 householder's schedule comprised name, relationship to head of household, usual residence, sex, age, marital condition, birthplace, nationality, occupation, industry, and size of house. The volumes based on the 1921 Census dealt with occupations, industries, workplaces, dependency and orphanhood, ages and marital conditions, education, birthplace, nationality and housing, and general, sectional and occupational mortality, the subjects being dealt with both nationally and, in a condensed form, for each administrative county. For simplicity, attention is confined in this paper to the Census in England and Wales.
