Turkmenistan to carry out population and housing census in 2022

AKIPRESS.COM - Turkmenistan will conduct a population and housing census in 2022 as part of the UN Economic and Social Council’s resolution 2020 World Population and Housing Census Programme adopted on June 10, 2015.

A state commission will be set up to ensure a high quality organization of the official survey, the state news agency of Turkmenistan said.

The census results are required to adjust the country’s socio-economic policy. Census data give legal grounds for taking measures in the socio-economic field and should be considered while planning the budgets at all levels, first and foremost the state budget.

Population of Turkmenistan, according to the UN Economic and Social Council, was 5.663 million in 2016.
