By conforming to these regulations and additional instructions which will be given to you by the census agent, you will simplify the examination of the questionnaires by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies, which thanks you.
The census aims to determine the number of inhabitants in each city and to know the demographics of the population by age, profession, kind of activity as well as migrations, composition and set-up of buildings and dwellings, etc. These are all invaluable information for the study of all demographic, economic and social problems at the national or regional level.
Ordered by the mandate of April 18th, 1961 (J.O. from May 8th and 9th, 1961), the general census of 1962, the 28th census since 1801, is obligatory for all people residing in France.
The law on privacy of statistics gathered (June 7th, 1951) guarantees that individual information appearing on all the questionnaires of the census will not be used except for the establishment of anonymous statistical charts. They will not be used in any case for fiscal ends, nor for any administrative control whatsoever.
