demographic composition and other important

aspects is important. The population has a decisive role

in the development of society as both a productive

force and a consumer. The demographic situation is at

the center of economic reforms aimed at forming a

stable and efficient economy in the republic.

A unique demographic situation has arisen in

Uzbekistan, which is characterized by an increase in the

decrease in the death rate, and at the same time, the

number of the population of working age is reflected

in its increase.

In the speech to the Oliy Majlis and the people of

Uzbekistan on December 20, 2022, President Shavkat

Mirziyoyev noted that the country's population

exceeded 36 million last years, and 900,000 new

generations are entering every year. We are trying to

create the necessary conditions for each member of

the big and friendly family called Uzbekistan to live a

peaceful and prosperous life. People ask us to build

new schools, kindergartens and hospitals, improve the

quality of education and medicine, solve problems

related to drinking water and electricity, roads and

transport,

increase

the

number

of

jobs,

entrepreneurship. they expect us to create new

opportunities for them, to ensure justice, to eliminate

red tape, bureaucracy and corruption. Therefore, the

principle of "First - the individual, then - the society and

the state" serves as the basis for the transformation of

the new Uzbekistan.

The most accurate and convincing information about

the population is collected through the census, and

they have their own characteristics. The census is a

special scientifically based statistical practice, the

purpose of which is to obtain information about the

number and composition of the population. The census

makes it possible to collect data of a demographic

nature about the absolute entire population of the

country, study these processes and systematize them,

serves as the basis for the development of population

and composition forecasts, as well as other

demographic forecasts.

Based on the results of the census, it will be possible to

make feedback and reflections on the past and

present, as well as forecast the future.

In a number of cases, the census serves as the only

source of information about the age, gender, national

composition, level of education, marital status,

employment and other descriptions of the population.

The census is a large-scale nationwide event that

allows you to take a “photo” of the population of the

country at a certain time, and is a reliable source of

information about the population.

Based on the above, regulatory and legal documents

regulating the field of population registration,

including the Law “On Census” in the Republic of

Uzbekistan, the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of

Uzbekistan on measures to prepare and conduct

Population Registration in the Republic of Uzbekistan,

is a historical normative document that is being

adopted for the first time, laid the base for the

regulation of relations related to the holding of a

census event, which has not been held for many years.

In obtaining reliable and accurate information about

the population during the census, the form of the

census questionnaire, that is, the questions that make

up the questionnaire, their content, place and order of

questions and the design of the questionnaires are

analysis of the final results of the census.

ANALYSIS THEMATIC LITERATURES

Based on the above, scientists from foreign countries

such as N.Kachanova, N.A.Smirnova, Ye.A.Gataulina,

G.S.Solodova, S.A.Smirnov, B.Edmonston, Ch.Schulz,

Constance F.Sitro and the others are interested in

researching the problems of the Census, its program

and the development of forms of the questionnaire.

Scientific, methodological and practical aspects of the

population census, the history of the population

census are partially reflected in the scientific works of

the national scientists such like I.K. Gulyamov, N.B. Tula

and others.

METHODS

In the process of research conducted on the analysis of

the form of the census questionnaire and the

adaptation

of

the

questionnaires

to

the

recommendations of international organizations were

widely used methods such like statistical tables and

graphs, induction and deduction, statistical grouping,

working in groups, interviews, analysis and synthesis,

etc.

The forms of the census questionnaire used during the

pilot population census in November 2021 were

selected as the object of our research.

The purpose of conducting our research is to develop

proposals for improving the forms of the pilot

population census that allows to obtain effective

results of the population census.

The world experience of the population census and the

development of questionnaire forms shows that all

countries that have held this event have been using

several questionnaire forms for the purpose of

registering the population and housing stock.

Questions in questionnaire forms should be close to

each other in terms of content and quantity to allow

mutual comparison [6].

Source: The table was formed by the author as a result of the analysis of the questionnaire forms of the population

census conducted in the CIS countries.

As can be seen from the table above, the questions in

the questionnaire forms of the 2019 population census

of the Republic of Belarus are the questionnaires with

the most questions among the CIS countries. In

addition

to

the

population

census,

these

questionnaires also included questions related to

agriculture, from households living in courtyards to

statistics of Belarus. The rest of the time, registration

in the agricultural sector is carried out using a separate

questionnaire form.

If we analyze by the types of questionnaire forms, the

number of questions in the form of a satellite

questionnaire for the place of residence and household

members is almost the same. According to the form of

the personal questionnaire, the number of questions is

relatively higher in the Republics of Kazakhstan and

Azerbaijan. This is justified by the inclusion of questions

about disabilities in this questionnaire form, which are

not included in other countries. Also, questions about

the monthly income of the population, which are not

found in other countries, have been added in the

questionnaire form of the population census

questionnaire of the Republic of Kazakhstan. It should

be noted that this type of question is not reflected in

the recommendations of the Economic Commission for

Europe of the UN and the Intergovernmental

Statistical Committee of the CIS. The inclusion of this

type of question in the questionnaire means that the

government needs this type of information.

In the above table, in the questionnaires of the

Republics of Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan, the

questions are considered to be the main question, and

the sub-questions and clarifying questions have a

relatively smaller share.

In accordance with the law of the Republic of

Uzbekistan, the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of

the Republic of Uzbekistan on November 1-25, 2021, a

pilot population census was held in Khojaabad District

of Andijan region, Yukori Chirchik District of Tashkent

region, Khiva City of Khorezm region and Yashnabad

district of Tashkent.

In these processes, the pilot census program,

approved by the decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of

the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 710 of November 11,

2020 on measures to prepare and conduct a census in

the Republic of Uzbekistan, as well as forms of

questionnaire developed on the basis of this program,

are filled out on the basis of a survey among the

population.

The pilot census program consists of 11 sections,

divided into 11 sections according to relevance, each

section is dedicated to specific “topics”. Including: [2]

1.

Questions related to basic demographic indicators;

2.

Questions related to the mechanical movement

and migration of the population;

3.

National characteristics of the population,

questions related to citizenship;

4.

Questions related to the level of education of the

population;

5.

Questions related to the economic status of

household members;

6.

Questions related to the employment of the

population;

7.

Questions about the number of children;

8.

Questions related to housing characteristics;

9.

Questions related to the healthy lifestyle of

household members;

10.

Questions on the collection of personal

information about citizens of foreign countries and

stateless persons who have temporarily arrived in

the Republic of Uzbekistan;

11.

Questions about certain categories of the

population.

The pilot population census program covers all layers

of the population and allows to collect complete

information about the population. This, in turn, creates

the basis for the formation of accurate information

about the number of unemployed in which region of

the republic, the level of provision of kindergartens,

schools, sports facilities, living conditions of the

population, and the state of internal and external

migration of the regions.

The pilot population census forms based on the above-

mentioned questions of the population census

program consist of 5 forms [4]:

1-

shakl “Characteristics of the dwelling and the list of

residents”: This form consists of 3 sections; each

section is designed to receive certain types of

information. In particular, section 1 of this form is called

“Dwelling characteristics” and includes the type of

ownership of the respondent’s place of residence, its

type, the total living area of the residence, the number

of living rooms and their area, the time of construction,

the materials of the external walls, available at the

place of residence they answer questions about

Section 2 reflects the provision of long-term

equipment by household members. In section 3, all

household members living in the residence are

included in the list of the number of households and

household members living in this place. In this, the

kinship relations of the residents to each other, where

each of them lives at the time of the population census,

whether they live permanently or temporarily, and if

there is a temporary absence, the reason and duration

are recorded.

2-

shakl “Personal Questionnaire” is filled out for each

person from 1-

shakl “Characteristics of the dwelling

and the list of residents” and everyone listed as

household members in section 3 of the questionnaire

form. This questionnaire consists of 23 main questions.

It should be noted that these questions are divided into

logical blocks. In particular, questions are asked within

the framework of topics such as basic demographic

indicators, migration indicators, respondents' marital

status, education level, health of the population and

mothers, children, employment and unemployment

rate, economic situation. It should be noted that there

are age-gender limits for the questions. This is of great

importance in the establishment of appropriate logical

controls when entering information about the

population into the database.

temporarily arrived in the Republic of Uzbekistan” is

filled out for persons who live abroad permanently, but

come to the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan at

the time of the population census and are temporarily

living or staying in the territory of the Republic of

Uzbekistan and cause inconvenience to them. This

questionnaire consists of 6 questions in order not to

Republic of Uzbekistan are temporarily staying in a

place other than their permanent residence, the

number of inhabitants is registered at both these

addresses. A control sheet was developed in order to

prevent it from being exceeded, i.e. adding one person

to the population twice. This checklist consists of 3

sections. In section 1, the respondent’s temporary

residence address is filled in completely, in section 2,

the respondent’s permanent residence address is filled

in completely. Section 3 is filled in by the staff of the

ANALYSIS AND RESULTS

During the pilot population census which held in

November 2021 on the implementation of the decree

of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of

Uzbekistan No. 710 of November 11

, 2020 “On

measures to prepare and conduct a census in the

Republic of Uzbekistan”, the forms of the pilot

population census sheet were filled out approved by

this decision. In this process, a number of

misunderstandings arose from the respondents in

answering the questions in the forms of the

questionnaire. In addition, further improvement of the

questions and their placement in the forms of the

questionnaire will make it more convenient for both

the registrants and the respondents.

In particular, it is necessary to clarify the terms and

concepts related to the registration of households,

houses and families.

Clear instructions are required for the registration of

groups

of

people

living

in

“temporary

accommodation” and collective households.

Respondents had difficulties, misunderstandings and

inconveniences in answering questions 5, 7, 14, 18.

When analyzing the results of the survey process for

filling out questionnaire forms with the population in

the census, a number of questions that cause unclear

or negative attitudes and misunderstandings among

the population, including household members is

advisable to exclude from the forms of the

questionnaire (e.g., providing long-term use of tools by

family members, monthly income of household

members, sports activities of household members,

refugee status) also, depending on the goals of

studying these topics, it allows to organize special

surveys for in-depth study of each topic, to further

increase the coverage and quality of data.

In addition, the forms of the questionnaire, the

concepts and terms used in the guidelines, such as

household, family, population categories that should

be registered should be clearly defined.

When answering questions in the form of a

questionnaire, should be clearly to select only one

answer option (male/female, yes/no) or several answer

options (types of washing facilities, water supply)

determining the possibility of setting also leads to

difficulties. In this regard, in questions with the

possibility of specifying several answer options, it

would be more convenient for the registrants if these

answer options were made round instead of square.

Answer codes should be standardized so that answers

to questions on paper questionnaires can be easily

checked, these values need to be entered later. Values

must conform to a standardized data format. For

example, the answer options for questions about

water supply or toilet facilities are segmented (1.1, 1.2)

and other answer options are given as whole numbers

(2, 3).

Based on the above, it is recommended to review the

following questions and make changes if necessary:

-

Marital status of respondents

-

Refugee status;

-

Other languages that can be spoken;

-

Playing sports;

-

Sources of income for living;

-

Amount of turnover in one month.

Below, we will analyze the form of the 2-shakl

“Personal Questionnaire” of the pilot population

census in the question section.

3.1. In the question “Indicate the number of your father

or mother”, the answer option should

allow to indicate

two persons, or the serial number of one person

should be indicated in the question. In addition, as a

result of this question, in order to identify those who

have lost their breadwinners or orphans, it is necessary

to distinguish by age. In particular, this question should

be answered by persons under 18 years of age.

It is recommended to add the word “permanent” to

the question “5 Have you lived in this settlement since

you were born?” and change it to “Have you lived

permanently in thi

s settlement since you were born” If

the respondent was born in another country, i.e. if the

answer option "other country" was selected in

question 4 “Place of birth”, then this question should

be skipped.

The questionnaire would be easier to use and easier to

digitize (for data entry, editing, and tabulation) if the

additional, auxiliary numbers on the questionnaire

forms were not used. For example, it would be

appropriate to renumber questions 5, 5.1, and 5.2 as

questions 5, 6, and 7.

In the question “6.4

Why did you leave the Republic of

Uzbekistan?” the reasons for the respondent’s

departure from the Republic of Uzbekistan were filled

with wider answer options, the respondents would

have been given more options. In particular, in part III

of the form 1 shakl Characteristics of the dwelling and

the list of residents, it would be appropriate if the

number of households living in this place and the

reasons for temporary non-residence of the

respondents in the list of household members are the

same.

“Are you married?” Respondents to this question may

have doubts about whether their marriage is

registered or sharia marriage and may not answer the

question correctly. It is also recommended to ask one

question about the marital status of the respondents

and add t

he answer option “unmarried/single”.

Alternatively, the current wording of the question

likely does not include widows or divorcees, as such

persons would answer “no” to the first part of the

question and be directed to question 8.

“How many children have you given birth to?” the

question was asked to women aged 15 years and older,

and answers were obtained about the total number of

children born and the number of live births. Some

respondents refused to answer about the number of

children born, especially the number of stillbirths,

because this type of answer caused them great

inconvenience. In this regard, it is appropriate to ask

only the total number of children born in this question.

“Your citizenship?”. In the current version of the

question, the following answers can be given: 1. Citizen

of Uzbekistan 2. Stateless person 3. Citizen of another

state and the registrar must indicate which country the

respondent is a citizen of. In order to indicate all

stateless persons, it is appropriate to add the answer

option “citizenship unknown”. This answer can be

used by those who do not know whether they have

citizenship or not (persons whose citizenship has not

been determined) or those who do not have actual

citizenship (de jure stateless, etc.). As stateless

persons are one of the most difficult groups to

enumerate, registrars should read all the answers to

this question and, if necessary, explain to respondents

what citizenship and non-citizenship mean. Details on

this issue and topic should be included in the

instructions for filling out the census forms.

Sub-question 9.1 of Question 9, asked whether

respondents were forcibly displaced or had refugee

status. This sub-question in the current version of the

questionnaire form is asked to all respondents,

including citizens of Uzbekistan, and it has often been

met with a negative response from respondents. If the

sub-question on refugees in paragraph 9.1 does not

include persons with the citizenship of Uzbekistan, and

if this answer option is selected (“1. Republic

of

Uzbekistan”), instructions will be put to go to the next

question will be appropriate.

The 1951 UN Convention Relating to the Status of

Refugees defines refugees as persons who are outside

their citizinship or place of permanent residence. They

also have a well-founded fear of persecution because

of their race, religion, national origin, membership of a

particular social group or political opinion, and are

unable to avail themselves of state protection or are

unwilling to return there for fear of persecution.

According to the norms of international law, a citizen

of Uzbekistan cannot be a refugee in his country (the

Republic of Uzbekistan), so it is appropriate to ask the

question sub question 9.1 only to foreign citizens and

stateless persons. ladi This approach also reduces the

registrar's workload.

In the question about the respondents “native

language”, if the respondents do not speak a language

other than the one in the given answer options, simply

add the “other” answer option. It should also be

emphasized that collecting this information will be

more useful in creating special programs for people

who speak other languages, for example, TV shows,

To the question of other languages that respondents

can talk about, before that, respondents who

answered “Uzbek” in their question about the native

language of the respondents cannot again choose the

answer option “Uzbek”. Therefore, so that both

questions do not have the same answer, it is

appropriate to include an answer option that means

“does not talk in a language other than the native

language” or “does not talk in any other language” as

an answer to this question.

Questions 13, 13.1, 13.2 related to sports are very

indeterminate, i.e. what is meant by professional

practice of sports, what are the criteria for practicing

sports, and whether simply doing physical exercises by

the respondents is also considered practicing sports. is

considered it is understood that this question is

subjective and answers to questions 1.1 and 13.2 must

be multiple choice. Finally, how is this data used? If

there are organizations based on that data, what can

they learn from that data?, these questions are not very

clear for the eyes in the development of state

programs. In this regard, it is recommended to carry

these questions on a questionnaire. If the decision is

made to leave the question in the questionnaire, the

procedure for asking the question will be changed to

“Do you do physical education exercises?”

It should be clear that the question about your source

of income for living is multiple-choice. If the

respondent has chosen two or more sources of

income, it is of great importance to determine which

income is the “main source of income” among the

selected incomes by what factor, that is, the source

that brings the most money or the source that spends

the main time, and this should be shown as a comment

in the form of a questionnaire.

In addition, it is appropriate to include several more

answer options in this question. In particular, a married

woman may be completely dependent on her

husband's income and may not have other

independent sources of personal life. Also, since this

question is asked to everyone regardless of age, it is

appropriate to include a separate answer option for

children who are under the care of their parents. In this

case, it is recommended to divide or expand answer

option 15 of this question (“under someone’s care,

sponsorship, alimony”) into several answer options as

suggested above.

In the question about household income, enumerators

asked respondents to indicate the exact amount of

their income, not a range. The instructions on this

matter should be much clearer.

In addition, respondents did not want to answer this

question because they were afraid that the

information would be provided to the tax authorities.

In addition, some enumerators did not read out the

answer options to the respondents and the

respondent was asked for the exact amount, after

which the enumerators assigned the answer to the

appropriate answer option. As a result, this question

caused a lot of objections among the respondents, and

in many cases, the answers given by the respondents

were wrong. In this regard, it is recommended to

exclude this question from the forms of the census

questionnaire.

If this question is not removed from the questionnaires

as part of the population census, then the “other”

answer option should be removed and the lower and

upper income limits should be added.
