Information recorded in the 1991 Pre-census and updated with data from the 1992 Population and Housing Census.
The process is continuous, allowing for periodic incorporation of persons and households occupying new dwellings during the period and giving them a positive probability of being in the sample. Updating is also carried out for newly constructed buildings, enabling the original size of the sample to be maintained by dividing those sections which have increased by more than 300 per cent, thus ensuring the validity of the information collected.
The sample of first-stage units (sections) will remain fixed indefinitely. Second-stage units (dwellings) within each section will be retained for only six consecutive survey periods in urban areas and twelve in rural areas.
