Javier Escobal gives his thoughts on the doubts and criticisms left by the 2017 Census
El Comercio gathered the thoughts of Javier Escobal, senior researcher at GRADE and member of the Advisory Council of the National Censuses, during the press conference after the 2017 Census. Javier discussed the census omission of housing in urban areas; between 2% and 3% of the total population, according to the head of the National Institute of Statistics and Information (INEI): “The omission is only known at the end of the census operation, if it is confirmed that it is between 2% and 3% , would be at a level that is considered adequate. Pre-cense is always done in advance, it will never be 100% updated “.
