ANNEXED NOTE

1. Technical Notes and Definitions
Qatar conducted population censuses in 1970, 1986, 1997, 2004, 2010, 2015 (a “simplified” census) and in 2020.
Reference period for census 2020: December 2020.
Implementation method: Census 2020 was based on administrative records, supplemented by an online self-enumeration platform,
completed with field enumeration.
Population of reference: All Qatari and non-Qatari individuals residing in the country at the time of the survey.

Household: a household is defined as an individual or group of individuals who may or may not be relatives. They live together and make common provisions
for food, accommodation and other essentials for living. Anyone who is usually living in the housing unit of the household under enumeration is considered
a member of that household (including the servants).

Labour camps (or Labour gatherings)
Small gatherings: A group of persons of the same gender (male of female) usually staying in the housing unit. They live as a group (collectively) but there is no
relationship between them and they do not form a living household. Their number ranges between 2 and 6 persons
Large gatherings: A group of persons of the same gender usually staying in housing units. They live as a group (collectively) but there is no relationship
between them and they do not form a living household. They are seven or more persons who usually belong to one organization (company, establishment, etc).

Institutions or public housing: It is the collective living quarters (e.g. internal wards in hospitals, dormitories for students, jails, etc.) where individuals reside
for a specific purpose. The inmates do not form a family or census household but they have common circumstances to be in public housing.
