A few days after the completion of the National Population Census to be held on October 27, we must emphasize its relevance to our country.
The purpose of the Census, to be conducted every ten years as provided in Article 47 of the Constitution, is to provide data on housing conditions, demographic, economic and social implications of population to the various levels of government are able to generate policies in areas like education, health, work, family, housing and transport.
also lets you set the number of legislative representatives at national, provincial and municipal (art.45 and 47 of the Constitution-Part of chapter 1).
Given the importance of these data, should be alerted on the subject of the campaign of intimidation that some social and political sectors are underway - with echo and decisive support of oligopoly means of communication - with the undeniable purpose of impeding the realization of the civic event. Emphasizing
on fear of the population to possible crimes during the execution of the Census, in the name of "security" no citizen is called to open the door to the enumerators or complete forms in advance, acts that would invalidate the survey. Also aims to put under suspicion, under the sign of political interest, processing the data, no technical basis substantiating this presumption.
Given the complexity of the universe that involves the micro, small and medium businesses, our industry has historically suffered from lack of relevant data that can give a comprehensive account of the different situations of economic and social sectors at national, regional and local levels.
Among other items, census data provide estimates of the demand for goods and services from data on concentration of population and its distribution by age and sex are fundamental to the development of production, trade and services, and include the installation companies from considerations about the availability of local labor. Also as inputs for research in economics and social sciences.
in all areas to be defined elements for public policy development data provided by the National Census are irreplaceable because of its richness, reliability and comprehensiveness.
therefore stress that the success of the survey does not belong to management or government, but a society that seeks to assert itself in the knowledge of their own realities, essential first step if it seeks to implement improvements in living conditions the whole population.
Since our organization we call the responsible and committed participation in the Census, an essential tool to carry out a nation-state capable of carrying out development policies with social inclusion.
recall that this is the true fundamental solution to the insecurity experienced by millions of Argentines who still live outside of the basic rights of citizens to health, food, education, decent jobs and housing established by the Constitution.
