Censuses provide population numbers, household or family size and composition, and information on sex and age distribution. They often include other demographic, economic and health-related topics as well. The 1999 Kyrgyzstan de jure census collected data through face-to-face interviews on the subjects of housing, household demographics, employment, education, migration, and fertility. The census day was March 24, 1999, and fieldwork continued until March 31. A 10% sample of households and persons from the census (476,886 individuals in private and selected households only) is available through IPUMS International at the University of Minnesota.
