Census/survey characteristics
Type	Census
Title	General Survey of the Population and Housing 1988
Statistical agency	Ministry of Planning, Department of Statistics, National Census Committee
Population universe	Persons living within the geographical limits of Ivory Coast, with the exception of members of the foreign diplomats, foreign soldiers, as well as sailors and passengers in foreign ships or aircrafts in Ivorian ports and airports. However, Ivorian diplomats and their families were recorded abroad, while Ivorians found abroad as tourists or workers, Ivorian sailors and fishermen on national boats will be recorded in Côte d'Ivoire in their household.
De jure or de facto	De jure
Census/survey day	March 30, 1988
Field work period	21 days
Questionnaire	Single enumeration form that requested information on all individuals; individuals age 6 or older; women age 12 or older; module of fertility (only applied to the head of household); and a household module.
Type of fieldwork	Direct enumeration
Microdata sample characteristics
Sample design	Systematic sample of every 10th household with a random start, drawn by IPUMS, for most departments. Systematic selection with a differential sampling rate, based on the number of available households and the expected total, in selected departments.
Sample fraction	9.5% at the national level; varying between 1.5% and 10.3% at the department level
Sample size (person records)	1042769
Sample weights	Weights computed by IPUMS should be used for most types of analysis. In most departments, weights are a flat inflation factor. In departments for which IPUMS lacked full-count data, person weights were designed to inflate to published counts by age, sex, and department, and household weights were designed to inflate to imputed counts of households by department and published counts by region.
Units identified in microdata
Dwellings	No
Vacant units	No
Households	Yes
Collective dwellings	Yes
Smallest geography	Subprefecture
Unit definitions
Dwellings	A dwelling is a distinct and independent place located inside a building that is used as a home by one or more households.
Households	An ordinary household is defined as a group of individuals, who may or may not be related, who recognize the authority of the same individual, called the "head of the household," and whose resources are partly shared. They live in the same building.
Collective dwellings	A group of people who live under particular conditions. These individuals are often not bound together by family ties. Collective households are found in the following establishments: barracks, hospitals, boarding schools, university residence halls, hotels, insane asylums, orphanages, prisons, monasteries, convents and other religious communities, living quarters on temporary work sites, etc. Note: In university residence halls, married students who live with their families are surveyed as ordinary households.

Unit definitions
Dwellings	The dwelling is a separate and independent space located inside a multi-unit building, or defined as the building itself, which serves as a home. The building or the dwelling, as the basic element of the housing unit, is the appropriate frame of reference in which households and the members who make up those households are identified and then counted in order to ensure the exhaustiveness of the census. The comprehensive counting of buildings or dwellings is therefore the necessary first step to ensure the exhaustiveness of the census.
Households	An ordinary household is made up of a group of people, who may or may not be related to one another, who recognize the authority of the same individual, called the "head of household," who live under the same roof or in the same compound, and who pool all or some portion of their resources. The ordinary household is usually made up of the head of household, his or her spouse(s), and their unmarried children. In quite a few cases, the ordinary household may include the head of household’s married children, extended family (direct ascendants, descendants, and/or collateral relatives), and, in some cases, unrelated individuals. The fundamental criteria used to identify members of an ordinary household are as follows: (i) living under the same roof or in the same compound, (ii) recognizing the authority of the head of household, (iii) pooling resources, in whole or in part. It is important to note that a person who lives alone and provides for his or her own basic needs, i.e., food, clothing, housing, etc. constitutes a household. Likewise, a group of people (unmarried individuals, unrelated individuals, etc.) who share the same dwelling will be considered a household only if they recognize the authority of one of them, who is thus considered the head of household, and if they have arranged to take their meals together. If, on the contrary, these people maintain a certain mutual independence, aside from living together, then they do not form a household; there will be as many separate households as there are independent people.
Collective dwellings	A collective household is made up of a group of people who are not necessarily related to one another and who live together in the same institution for reasons of health, education, work, travel, discipline, or otherwise. It is the institution that regulates the conditions of their coexistence, taking its own objectives into account. This includes the following institutions: boarding schools and university residences; military boarding schools and barracks; solidarity housing projects (orphanages); hotels; prisons; temporary construction sites (construction camps); hospitals and other health facilities (psychiatric hospitals); convents and other religious institutions (monasteries). However, people who live freely and normally in these institutions with their entire family (wife or wives and children), form ordinary households. rdinary and collective households are a frame of reference in which individuals are identified and counted, as well as statistical units of analysis.
