The first phase of the Portugal 2021 Census has begun, here is what you need to know.
The census is the largest national statistical operation undertaken by the National Institute of Statistics (INE) and as part of this, letters have begun to be distributed across the country.
Residents will need to fill the census out online using the code and password given in their letter. To find out more about how this works, I spoke to the CEO of afpop, the largest Association for foreign residents in Portugal, Michael Reeve, who kindly gave me some more insight into the 2021 Census.
Analysis of results from the recently published General Population Census 2019 indicates that domestic migration within Cambodia is gradually declining as families settle in the post-conflict era, with trends towards urbanisation and consolidation of rural agriculture.
The largest portion of internal migration now is notably from rural areas to towns, in contrast to movements observed in 1993 and 2008.
Census statistics revealed that 34 per cent of domestic relocation was from rural to urban areas, followed by moves from one town to another which accounted for 30 per cent. Migration from one rural area to another dropped from nearly 51 per cent in 2008 to 29 per cent in 2019, according to the census report released in January.

The General Population Census of Cambodia 2019 has provided detailed information regarding sources of clean drinking water for the provincial populations across the Kingdom, determining which regions depend on rivers, streams, lakes and ponds as primary sources while others depend mostly on wells or transported water.
The census report indicated that Stung Treng province had the highest rate of dependence on natural bodies of water and waterways at 46.1 per cent of the population. Six other provinces relying on these as primary sources of water were Pursat (28.4 per cent), Kampot (25.3 per cent), Oddar Meanchey (24.8 per cent), Pailin (21.5 per cent), Battambang (20.9 per cent) and Mondulkiri (20.6 per cent).
