ISSUES AND ALTERNATIVES IN PLANNING THE 1990 CENSUS

This paper which reviews the planning process for the 1990 census, contrasts the current approach with that leading to the 1980 census. The paper highlights the issues and alternatives being considered in the plans for 1990 and sets forth those areas in which improvements are expected: data collection, automation, outreach, publicity, coverage improvement and measurement, and content. Each of these aspects is discussed in some length in this paper.
