    Series Information

    This is the ninth census undertaken by the Statistics Office, the first being in 1971. Prior to this the Cook Island censuses were conducted by the Registrar General of the Justice Department. This census was conducted under the authority of the Statistics Act, 1966.
    Abstract

    The Census of Population and Dwellings is a five yearly stock take of people in the Cook Islands and their housing. It is the primary source of information on the size, composition, distribution, economic activities and state of well being of the population. The most fundamental questions it will answer concern the size and distribution of the entire population, the extent to which men and women participate in the economy, and the nature of housing and household facilities. The information collected will allow policy planners to measure the developments of our society and to make decisions about future needs of our communities.
