6. Population census topics and their usefulness

P23A and P23B - Tertiary education, professional, technical and vocational course/qualifications
The questions help to determine the resources of the country in terms of specialized manpower and to show whether there are too few or too many people with specific qualifications and skills to satisfy the needs of the labor market. The information is useful to measure the need for continuing education and retraining programs that would respond to the changing demands of the labor market.

8. How to fill in the Population Census Questionnaire

P23B- Education other than those of the primary and secondary levels - past
[figure omitted]

Enter information related to the 3 highest qualifications other than those of the primary and secondary levels (e.g. degree, diploma, certificate or other qualifications) that the person has obtained in the past.

Please note that P23B is applicable for all persons who have qualifications other than those of the Primary and Secondary levels, even though they are now following another course.

[p. 46]

Start with the highest qualification. For each qualification, write the following in the boxes provided:

(a) Duration of the course
Insert the duration of schooling/training in full time equivalent months. For full-time regular courses, consider one academic year as equivalent to 12 months, even though the actual course/training during the year may have been less than 12 months.
For a person who received training by correspondence, or through private or part-time study, convert the accumulated training to the equivalent number of months in the full-time regular program.
(b) Qualification received
For each qualification received, write the title of the qualification, e.g. BSC, diploma, certificate, etc., in boxes labeled as (i).
(c) Major field of study
For each qualification obtained, write the corresponding major field of study, e.g.: hospitality management, civil engineering, agriculture, teacher training, etc., in the boxes labeled as (ii).

An example is given below for a 2-year course to obtain a diploma in hospitality management.
