The new format (online + bypass) will cut bureaucracy, lower costs, enhance transparency, and speed up data collection. Reducing the number of questions (from 328 to 71) should boost response rates, lessen family burdens, and simplify data processing.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Key facts<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The census is scheduled from <strong>15 January to 28 February 2026<\/strong>; the first 17 days involve online data collection, followed by door-to-door visits with the participation of the mahalla \u201cseven\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>It is proposed that the agricultural census and the population census will be carried out concurrently.<\/li>\n<li>The savings were estimated at approximately <strong>1.3 trillion soums<\/strong> due to the new format and reduction of issues.<\/li>\n<li>The number of questions will be significantly reduced \u2014 from 328 to 71.<\/li>\n<li>The Law \u201cOn Population Census\u201d states that the population census must be conducted at least once every 10 years, and the agricultural census every 5 years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong> What they say<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The authorities highlight that the database to be established will enable more precise planning of state programmes, assessment of food security, agricultural services, migration processes, and others. International organisations \u2014 the World Bank, UNFPA, and FAO \u2014 are involved in project preparation, which enhances the quality of data collection methods and techniques. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Context<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The last general census in Uzbekistan was conducted in <strong>1989<\/strong> as part of the USSR. Many legally mandated obligations remain unfulfilled: censuses were often postponed. The Law \u201cOn Population Census\u201d was adopted in 2020. Modern international standards (Recommendations of the 2020 Conference of European Statisticians, FAO, etc.) suggest that such censuses should provide comparable data in terms of quality and completeness to serve as a basis for planning, policy, and international reports.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The project includes an online component and door-to-door visits, saving approximately 1.3 trillion soums.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8802,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sharing_image":[],"_sharing_image_fieldset":[],"pin_until":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[2119,2068,2504,2153],"class_list":["post-8811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-agriculture","tag-government","tag-population","tag-statistics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.0 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The population and agriculture census in Uzbekistan will take place from 15 January to 28 February 2026 &#8212;
