2011 Census background
In 2011, the Registrars General of England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland agreed to conduct their Censuses simultaneously.
Overview
This coordinated approach aimed to enhance harmonisation across the UK and ensure the production of consistent, coherent outputs for both the UK as a whole and each individual country.
To support this goal, a series of UK-wide committees were established to explore key areas of census development. These groups focused on identifying opportunities to adopt common methodologies and align practices wherever possible.
