Methodology report Describing the Anticipated Accuracy of the Swiss Population Survey

Describing the Anticipated Accuracy of the Swiss Population Survey
From 2010 onwards the Swiss Population ­Survey together with the data from the administrative registers on persons, dwellings and buildings of Switzerland will provide yearly structural statistics on Switzerland. The discussion of the accuracy of the Swiss Population Survey is difficult due to its multi-purpose, multi-user nature. In particular there is a concern about the accuracy of the Swiss Population Survey for small municipalities. The resolution and the change-resolution are introduced as new indicators of accuracy which combine relevance and accuracy and serve a wide range of problems. With the help of the new accuracy indicators the potential and limitations of the planned sample of the Swiss Population Survey of a size of 200'000 persons is ­discussed.
