Supervision
The PCBS decided to update the Establishment/enterprise register resulting from the 1994 establishment census rather than creating a new one. All possible methods to do the link were examined including several office and fieldwork tests. The decision taken was to update and link during the 1997 Population, Housing and Establishment Census fieldwork operation. This required all establishments from the 1994 Census to be classified geographically in the enumeration areas delineated for the 97 Census. Data collection in the second phase of the PHC included the following: updating records of existing establishments including marking ones no longer existing as well as adding new ones with current records.
