Pakistan census 2023

Pakistan census is a periodic population count conducted by the government of Pakistan to collect demographic, social, and economic data on its citizens. The nationwide census is conducted every 10 years under the supervision of the PBS and is mandated by the Constitution of Pakistan.

However, this year’s census will be different, as it will be the nation’s first implementation of a digital self-enumeration census. This means that for the first time in Pakistani history, the national census will be conducted without the use of paper and pencil. Instead, PBS, through its trained personnel, will utilize android-based smart devices to provide more accurate data and reduce the risk of human error.
