1 Supplementary questionnaire on the 2011 Population and Housing Census BELGIUM

2 Supplementary questionnaire on the 2011 Population and Housing Census Fields marked with are mandatory. INTRODUCTION As agreed during the last meeting of the "Working Group on Population and Housing Censuses" (4-5 June 2013), the transmition of the metadata on the 2011 census is split in two flows. In addition to the metadata provided using the ESS-MH (ESS Metadata Handler), Member States are asked to provide the set of additional information included in this questionnaire. The reason why these questions were not included in the ESS-MH is that they do not naturally fit into the ESMS (Euro-SDMX Metadata Structure), i.e. the standard structure for metadata transmission in the ESS. 0. Contact information Please insert the contact details of the person filling in this questionnaire Name / Surname 1. Usage of estimation methods According to Annex II to Reg. (EU) No 519/2010, Member States shall report, for each census topic, on the methodology used to estimate data for that topic. For convenience, this question is applicable only to those topics for which estimation methods were used Were estimation methods used to estimate any topic in 2011 census? Yes No

3 2. Usage of register-based data sources for the 2011 census This section of the questionnaire applies only to those Member States that used register-based data sources to produce the 2011 census data (possibly in combination with other data sources). Provisions concerning this part of the questionnaire are contained in Annexes I and II of Reg. (EU) No 1151/2010.

4 2.1. Which register-based data sources were used for which topics? (Please tick the appropriate boxes) Source / Topic Population register Social security/tax register(s) Employment/ occupation/ unemployment register(s) Education register(s) Business register(s) Building/ dwelling/ housing register(s) Other administrative register(s) Sex Age Current Activity Status Place of work Size of the locality Marital status Occupation Status in employment Educational attainment Place of birth

5 Country of citizenship Year of the arrival in the country Residence one year before Household status Family status Housing arrangements

6 2.2. Are there known problems of specific population sub-groups likely to be over or under covered by the registers? Yes No If "Yes", please specify population subgroups likely to be over or under covered and for which registers? Populations likely to be undercoved : - La population séjournant illégalement en Belgique - Les personnes n'ayant pas un intérêt particulier à se faire enregistrer, notamment les Européens résidants en Belgique pour de courts séjours Populations likely to be overcovered : - La population qui quitte le pays sans en faire la déclaration au près de la commune, soit parce que cela ne représente aucun intérêt particulier pour elle, soit parce qu'elle souhaite garder certains avantages en Belgique Are there known reasons for people delaying registration/deregistration? Yes No 2.4. Has the extent of any problems in the completeness and timeliness of registration/deregistration been evaluated? Yes No 2.5. Were individual records matched across different registers? Yes No

7 If "Yes", which identifying variables were used for matching data records? Le plus souvent, les couplages ont été réalisées en utilisant le numéro du Registre National, le registre belge de la population. Cependant, dans les différents registres de l'enseignement, ce numéro n'était pas présent. Pour coupler ces bases de données, le nom, le prénom et la date de naissance des individus ont été utilisés. Par ailleurs, les informations du Registre National ont été couplées avec celles du cadastre à l'aide de l'adresse. 3. Usage of sample surveys for the 2011 census According to item of Annex II of Reg. (EU) 1151/2010 some additional metadata are requested in case that Member States use sample surveys to derive part of the data of the 2011 census.

8 3.1. For which topics in the 2011 census were sample surveys used to collect statistical information? Topic Sex Age Current activity status Place of work Marital status Occupation Industry Status in employment Educational attainment Place of birth Country of citizenship Year of arrival in the country Residence one year before Household status Family status Housing arrangements

9 3.2. Please provide a short description of the sampling design used in these survey-based data sources 3.3. Please provide an assesment of possible biases in the estimation due to model assumption errors

10 3.4. Please provide a short description of the algorithm used to calculate the standard error 4. Assessment of the data sources used for the 2011 census According to item 2.4 of Annex I to Reg. (EU) 1151/2010, Member States shall report upon the extent to which the data sources used for the 2011 census meet the "essential features" as listed in Art. 4(4) of Reg. (EC) 763/2008 and defined in Article 2(2-6) of Reg. (EU) 1151/ To what extent do the data sources used for the 2011 census meet the "essential feature" of: A - Individual enumeration? Completely To a large extent Partially Poorly Not at all B - Simultaneity? Completely To a large extent Partially Poorly Not at all

11 C - Universality within the defined territory? Completely To a large extent Partially Poorly Not at all D - Availability of small-area data? Completely To a large extent Partially Poorly Not at all E - Defined periodicity? Completely To a large extent Partially Poorly Not at all 5. Transmition of data concerning primary and secondary homeless persons According to Reg. (EU) 519/2010 "data on the total population shall include the number of all primary homeless persons (persons living in the streets without shelter) and secondary homeless persons (persons moving frequently between temporary accommodation). However, Member States are free not to include the number of homeless persons in their data on the total population, or to include the number on the homeless but not to break the data on the homeless down by any breakdown or category (figure included only in the total and/or categorised under Not stated ). If Member States do not include the number of homeless persons in their data on the total population, they shall provide the Commission with the best available estimate for the number of all primary and the number of all secondary homeless persons in the whole Member State." This part of the questionnaire is designed to respond to these requirements and, for sake of clarity, reporting on primary and secondary homelessness is split into two separate sections. 5A) Primary homeless persons
