WILLEMSTAD - The Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) informs that the census season will be extended until November 27. During this period, not only will they continue with the regular home visits, but they will also begin with the so-called secondary count. The secondary count (natelling) was already planned to take place in November. During the secondary count period, homes that have not yet been visited for one reason or another will be revisited. The reason for this extension is because there are surveyors who dropped out during the period, which means there are fewer people in the field to visit homes. Additionally, the extensive heat at this time has lowered the productivity of the surveyors. For these reasons, CBS will introduce other alternatives to maintain productivity.
CBS has also changed the method of distributing addresses to each enumerator. The new approach provides each enumerator with a complete street they need to visit.
Starting the weekend of October 20/21, a group of enumerators will enter a neighborhood and visit every home that has not been visited by Senso yet. They will start with the Souax/Ser'i Kandela neighborhood this weekend. They will continue this way during the coming weekends. Each neighborhood will be informed about the day they will visit.
Progress of Senso23
Out of the total of +/-80,000 addresses that Senso needs to visit, Senso has visited 49% up to the current date.
CBS asks all individuals who have not yet been visited by Senso to stay pending for a visit in the upcoming weeks.
