Censo demografico-2015

On October 1st, 2015, the population census will be held throughout Japan.

The census is carried out every 5 years, and the target audience are everyone residing in Japan, including foreign residents. This demographic research is carried out under Japan’s statistics law, therefore, we must follow the legislation and provide necessary information.

The census comprises 17 information, such as number of people in the family, as well as, gender, date of birth, nationality, type of service of each person, and type of house.

af0150015158Census form will be handed out from early September, in each house by designated officials. In October the same official will make another visit to check and collect the completed form. From this census, it will be possible to fill out the data through internet or smartphones, accessing the forms available in English or Japanese.

The government officials designated to hand out and collect the forms will be temporary, therefore, check out if they are using a badge and an identification bracelet.

An envelope containing the completed form can be sealed and, in this case, the official cannot open it to verify the content. It is possible to send it by mail. If you do not want to hand out the form to the designated official, send it by mail directly to the mailbox of the government’s responsible body.

The data collected through the census will be used to elaborate statistical evaluations, and there is no risk of being given to other governmental bodies (such as immigration, tax agency or police) therefore, answer it easily.

The results of this census will provide improvements in the social welfare area, employability measures, disaster prevention and others important factors in order to build a better society to everyone.

We ask for the comprehension and collaboration of all to carry out the national population census 2015.
