Background of Censuses in Mexico • The use of technology has allowed to speed up processes and to reduce the time of results delivery. • For example: Almost 2 years 15 months 9 months 1990 2000 2010
Planning the 2020 Census • INEGI will carry out the 2020 Population an Housing Census. For that year it estimates to find: Of which 35 million are expected to be inhabited. Between 128 and 130 Between 45 and 46 million inhabitants. million dwellings.
Planning the 2020 Census • Thus, the census operation will look to: Deepen the knowledge of priority Enumerate the population and topics with the application of a existing dwellings in the country. long questionnaire (sample). Obtain information of Deliver results timely. optimum quality. • To achieve this, several technological innovations will be implemented, such as using mobile devices to collect data. • This represents an important challenge for INEGI, given the size of staff structures and the rapid changes in technologies.
Planning the 2020 Census Methodology • The project is planned to be developed under the following methodological basis: Type of census: Proxy respondent • De jure • The head of the household, either woman or man, his or her partner or a resident of Observation units: 18 years of age or older. • Residents of the national territory and private and Data collection period collective dwellings • March 2020 Questionnaires: • Short form • Long form • Social Assistance Accommodations

Planning the 2020 Census Methodology Special field operations: Verification: • Recovery of no-contact result dwellings, Post-enumeration Survey: reducing undercoverage. • One month after data collection . • Verify the correct classification of • Obtain the measurement of coverage at uninhabited and temporary use dwellings. national level.
Planning the 2020 Census Methodology • Regarding data collection methods, the following strategies will be implemented: • Face to face interview using mobile devices (Main strategy). • Internet self-enumeration. • Telephone-assisted interview.
Planning the 2020 Census Organization • INEGI has a permanent structure in charge of the design and management of statistical information projects. The central structure is responsible of defining the operation strategies, coordinated and executed through the territorial structure, composed by: 10 34 State Regional Coordination Directorates Offices (DR) (CE) • For the Census, temporary staff is hired in each CE and offices are established at municipal level. • It is estimated that the operation structure will be of approximately 200 thousand people.

Planning the 2020 Census Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) • This method will be the main strategy for field enumeration for this census. Previous experiences: • CEMABE 2013 • Economic Censuses, 2014 • Agricultural Censuses and Surveys • Household Surveys • Economic Surveys • Government Censuses
Planning the 2020 Census Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) • • Advantages Reduction in data collection times. Faster publication of results. Disadvantages • High investment in mobile computing devices (MCD). • Elimination of paper work. • Short life of MCD, as well as rapid changes in technologies. • Implementation of certain data integrity controls. • Exposure to robberies in high-risk places. • Online monitoring. • Sensitivity to extreme weather • Elimination of the traditional conditions. capture structure. • Risk of technical failures. • Requirement of additional information security measures.
Planning the 2020 Census Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) Characteristics of computer equipment Equipment used in previous events: • Mini laptops with technical • While these have been useful in previous 10.1” characteristics sufficient operations, INEGI has decided to look for for their use in the field. • The model has a solid and cheaper and lighter equipment. scarcely showy case, therefore unattractive for robbery. Equipment planned to be used for the 2020 Census: • Tablets whose suitable characteristics will be 7-8” determined from the results of technical and operational tests.
Planning the 2020 Census Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) Subsequent use of the MCDs • Technological changes, as well as the useful life and storage costs of equipment, make the use of the about 200 thousand MCDs impossible even in the next intercensal event. Possible solutions and alternatives Bring Your Own Device Other projects and CAPI + PAPI (BYOD) agreements • Pen And Paper • Solves the problem of subsequent use. • Around 20% of MCDs will be used Interviewing in special cases: • Technical complications from in other INEGI projects. • High risk areas. • Equipment wide diversity of • Agreements with failure. equipment. other government • Battery • Information security implications arise. agencies will be sought. exhaustion.
Planning the 2020 Census Self-enumeration alternatives Secondary collection strategies In the following cases Delivery of invitation if by Computer Assisted Telephone the 3rd visit the interview Interviewing (CATI) has not been achieved.

Planning the 2020 Census Challenges or the use of CAPI strategy Climatological challenges: Social challenges: • Extreme conditions for MCD. • Insecurity. • Intense heat. • Restricted access zones. • Rain, humidity, dust. • Social conflicts. Technological challenges: • Information security in MCD. • Safe transmissions to central servers. • Backups and recovery. • Updates. • Technical support.
Georeferencing Statistical Information National Geostatistical Framework (MGN) • Designed and created by INEGI in 1978, this framework georeferences statistical information of censuses and surveys. 123-4 • It is periodical updating guarantees • In this system, each the coverage and correct geographic geostatistical area has reference of information, plus it has a unique key in the evolved to digital versions available national territory. for free online. • Once data collection is achieved, it is used to publish results and geostatistical systems such as SCINCE* and the National Housing Inventory. * 2010 System for the Consultation of Census Information.
Georeferencing Statistical Information Use of QR Codes Lessons learned from the Plans for the 2020 Population 2015 Intercensal Survey and Housing Census • They allowed questionnaires control: • Paper questionnaires (for exception cases) will have QR codes, which will From reception and distribution be read through the camera of mobile in the field, devices for questionnaire control. to their delivery to data capture centers, • Labels to be placed in dwellings will to their storage in regional also have QR codes, to assign a or state warehouses. unique key to each dwelling in the country, and therefore to allow unequivocal identification during • They enabled linking each verification and post-enumeration. questionnaire to the dwellings in the building list, making it possible to monitor them in every stage, and • Self-enumeration notices will have to ensure the correct association QR codes containing the URL to the of information and geographical census web system, as well as the user areas. and password linked to the dwelling.
Georeferencing Statistical Information Use of Global Positioning System (GPS) Dwellings location Operations monitoring • Using the GPS in MCDs, INEGI will register coordinates of dwellings during field operations. • To overcome precision problems, Tests will be conducted during 2017, • To monitor enumeration anticipating the correction by verifying interviews of points to at least the are conducted in the correct block. assigned work areas.
Conclusions • INEGI has traditionally sought the incorporation of technological innovations to statistical project processes, to make them more efficient and improve data quality. • For the 2020 Census, the use of mobile devices for data collection is one of the most important technological innovations planned. • The challenges this implies, are being analyzed and evaluated. • Tests will be taken to insure that innovations lead to a tangible benefit in terms of information production: reliability, opportunity and cost reduction. • INEGI seeks the modernization of its processes, promoting actions that, complementary to the 2020 Census, contribute to the use of administrative records for statistical production.
