Series Information
The Population, Housing and Establishment Census -1997 is the largest statistical project ever conducted in the Palestinian Territory. The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) started preparing for implementing this pivotal project in the eve of 1993, and it was actually carried out throughout the period starting from the early beginnings of September 1997 until the ever of that year.
Population Census
The process of collection, classification, processing, analysis, assessment, dissemination of statistical data on the number of population and their distribution by basic demographic and socio-economic characteristics in a specific reference period within the boundaries of a specific geographic area.
A population Census is based on the following:
1. De-facto enumeration: based on the enumeration of individuals according to their existence in the area of enumeration at Census reference date, regardless of their usual place of residence.
2. De-jure enumeration: the enumeration of individuals according to their usual place of residence, regardless of their existence at the Census reference date.
For this Census, we adopted the de-facto approach with some exceptions.

Weighting
- Sampling Frame: The sampling frame consists of a list of all households that have been counted during the population, housing and establishment census 1997. These households cover all households living, during the census, in West Bank and Gaza Strip except those living in the annexed part of Jerusalem.
- Sample Design: A systematic random sample of 20% of the households is selected, then all household members of the selected households are selected.
- Sampling Weights: Sampling weights are calculated and added to the data file, they should be used when calculating estimates from the data file.
Estimation procedures using weights
1. Estimating Means, Ratios or Proportions:
There is no need for using the weights when estimating means, ratios or proportions since the sample is self weighted.
2. Estimating Totals:
Weights should be used to get an un-biased estimate of the Total, as follows:
1. Multiply the variable that represents the weight (W) by the variable that you want to estimate it's total (Y) to get a weighted variable say (Z)
Where :
Z = W * Y
2. Sum Z over the sub-population that you want to estimate it's total. as:
Where:
i : is the index that represents the record in the data file
Zi : is the weighted value of the variable Y for record number i
n : is the number of records in the data file corresponding to the sub-population.
