A népszámlálások iskolázottságot érintő kérdéseinek módszertani háttere, 1990–2022
Methodological background of census questions on education, 1990–2022

Summary/Abstract: Traditional censuses, which use questionnaires, have faced increasing challenges in recent decades in balancing the amount of information required with the declining cooperation of the population. Our study reviews the questions on education and qualifications in the last four censuses and presents the professional reasons behind the design of the questionnaires. In addition to describing the methodological background of questionnaire design, data collection and data processing, we outline the possibilities and challenges regarding the topic of education of a future census in line with modern international practice, using administrative register data instead of interviewing the population.
