Istat's permanent population and housing census kicks off.

.

How does it work?

.

A sample of people and households will receive a letter with instructions on how to answer a questionnaire. Completion is compulsory and a useful gesture for the whole community. Everyone's help is important at this stage, also to support people who are unfamiliar with digital tools.

The methods of response are different: independently, at physical points or with Istat staff - surveyors - directly in the homes.

The surveyor carrying out the interviews for Istat is recognisable by a badge with a photo and stamp of the municipality. Respondents can request to check the document or contact the Istat unique number 1510, free of charge, to verify his identity.

Thanks to the information collected, Istat will be able to provide up-to-date data on education, employment, housing and transport.

When?
