Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Oleh Nemchinov announced intention to create a working group that will develop a draft document for Ukraine’s transition from a traditional population census to a census based on registers in 2030.
“Today, along with the State Statistics Service of Ukraine and the United Nations Population Fund, we signed a joint statement on the creation of a working group that will work on the development of a comprehensive draft document for Ukraine’s transition from a traditional population census to a census based on registers in the 2030 round of population and housing censuses,” Nemchinov wrote on the Telegram channel.
