Census continues until November

The Barbados Statistical Service (BSS) has advised that the 2021 Population and Housing Census will continue throughout this month and into November. 

Enumerators, working on behalf of the BSS to conduct the interviews, can be easily identified by their pink BSS-branded polo shirt and their department issued identification cards prominently displayed on their person. 

The public is encouraged to comply with these enumerators, as the information is necessary to assist in the assessment of the needs of the nation, and ultimately shape the island’s social and economic growth and development. 

As the teams move through their respective enumeration districts and interact with residents, all COVID-19 protocols will be observed. 

The census has as its theme: Our Nation, Our Future, Be Counted! 

For more information on the ongoing Population and Housing Census, members of the public may visit the Barbados Statistical Service’s website www.stats.gov.bb, or call 535-2600. (BGIS)
