The National Institute of Statistics finalized the 2024 census questionnaire, expanding it from 49 to 59 questions across seven chapters. This significant increase reflects a comprehensive effort to gather deeper demographic insights, including mortality and international emigration, while maintaining a structure that balances detail with user accessibility. The final design underwent rigorous testing and consultation with civil society and international organizations to ensure accuracy. The relevance to open data lies in the enhanced granularity of the resulting dataset. By collecting more specific sub-questions on housing and personal characteristics, the census generates richer, more nuanced information. This allows for better analysis of social trends and resource allocation, providing policymakers and researchers with higher-quality public data for evidence-based decision-making. The process emphasizes transparency and public participation, incorporating feedback from municipalities and universities throughout its development. This collaborative approach ensures the final instrument meets community needs while maintaining international standards. Consequently, the released data will be more reliable and widely usable, fostering greater trust in statistical institutions and promoting the effective use of open government information for societal benefit.
