This report deals with sampling and weighting, a process whereby certain characteristics are collected and processed for a random sample of the dwelling and persons identified in the complete census enumeration. Data for the whole population are then obtained by scalling up the results for the sample to the full population level. The use of sampling may lead to substancial reductions in costs and respondent burden, or alternatively, can allow the scope of a census to be broadened at the same cost.
