ANNEXED NOTE

 

1. Technical Notes and Definitions

 

In October 2015, the Bahraini e-Government Authority merged with the Central Informatics Organization to form the Information and e-Government Authority (IGA), which manages and oversees all national digital assets.

The IGA maintains, and is part of, the Government Data Network, established in 1994, which links together 300 governmental entities.

 

Reference dates of censuses:

1941	January 22nd, 1941
1950	March 1950
1959	May 1959
1965	February 13th, 1965
1971	April 1971

2001	April 7th, 2001
2010	April 27th, 2010

Censuses’ implementation methods:

Until 1981: field enumeration (household survey)+de jure methodology, i.e. counting persons using their usual place of residence irrespective of where are they at census times

1991; 2001: field enumeration (household survey)+ first use of administrative records

2010: mixed census, based on both administrative records and a household survey sample of 15,000 Bahraini and non-Bahraini households.

2020 census was conducted solely on the basis of administrative records on the de jure population of the Kingdom.

Population of reference: all individuals (nationals and non-nationals) usually present within the State’s borders during time of reference.

Nationality of the person is defined by the passport used to enter the country. A non-Bahraini is considered as such depending on the passport used to enter the country (or obtain the visa)
