Estimates and projections of agricultural/ non-agricultural population and labour force

Reports & Research
November, 1974
Africa

Estimates and projections of the agricultural population and the economically active population (or labour force) in agriculture are important for agricultural planning since, apart from indicating the size of the population depending for their living on, and engaged in agriculture, they have direct implications on agricultural employment policies. They are also needed for the determination of such important development indicators as per Capita agricultural income, labour productivity in agriculture and the proportion of population or labour force in agriculture.

Création d'organismes permanents d'enquêtes sur le terrain

Conference Papers & Reports
May, 1974
Africa

La création d'organismes permanents d'enquêtes sur le terrain dans le cadre des services statistiques africains est à l'étude depuis de nombreuses années et dans certains pays ces organismes existent déjà. Ils se justifient par la nécessite de recueillir des informations relativement exactes sur les secteurs des ménages et des entreprises privées, qu'il est impossible d'obtenir de sources centralistes d'informations dans les pays en voie de développement.
