The project was presented by Tatyana Valovaya, member of the Board (Minister) in the main areas of integration and macroeconomics of the EEC. "Censuses are a major source of information about the quantity and quality of human potential. The results of the census involve many sectors of statistics and provide an opportunity the opportunity to correct and clarify the socio-economic indicators of both member-states and the union as a whole," said Tatyana Valovaya. The results of the census make it possible to obtain relevant data on population size and structure, as well as employment and migratory movements. Today the population census in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Community is held every ten years. However, there is a difference in methodology and timing of population censuses. Implementation of the order will help to provide comparable data on population, labor and migration flows in the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union.
