    Series Information

    A census of production was first carried out by the Statistics Mauritius in 1964 followed by another one in 1968. However, those two censuses were restricted to the manufacturing sector only. In 1985, following the need for comprehensive data on the characteristics and structure of production units in the different sectors of the economy, the census was extended to all sectors except agriculture. The 1985 Census was followed by another one in 1992. Since then, the census known as the Census of Economic Activities (CEA) has been conducted every five years.
    Abstract

    The Central Statistics Office conducted its fourth Census of Economic Activities (CEA 2002) from January 2002 to June 2004, with 2002 as reference year. The main objective of the CEA which is conducted every five years, is to collect up-to-date data on the operating characteristics and structure of units engaged in all economic activities, except agriculture, undertaken in the Republic of Mauritius.

    CEA 2002 was carried out in two phases. The first phase, which covered the “small” non-agricultural establishments, i.e. those engaging less than 10 persons inclusive of own account and unpaid family workers, and itinerant units was conducted from January to December 2002. The second phase, directed to the “large” establishments, i.e. those engaging ten or more persons, was carried out from July 2003 to June 2004.
