Introduction
The demographic surveys are one of the most important sources of data, necessary for development planning in the economic and social fields at the domestic and national levels. Its importance lies in the fact that it provides data covering the relatively long intervals between a census and another. Through these surveys, many of the demographic, economic and social phenomena can be studied in more meticulous detail than what is available in population censuses. That is because population censuses depend on a comprehensive counting of all households, whereas demographic researches utilize the sampling method of selected households in a scientific way, as well as examining some of the other demographic and social phenomena in more comprehensive and elaborate way.
The General Authority for Statistics (GAStat), represented in its Department of Population and Vital Statistics, has carried out a number of demographic surveys (in 1419, 1421 and 1428H). This survey, 1437H (2016), is the fourth study that is conducted by the authority. It is important for the data and details it provides covering the mid-term between the 1431H (2010) population census and the population census planned to be made in 1441H (2020) which would start on Rajab 22, 1437H to Ramadan 2, 1437H (Corresponding to the dates April 29, 2016 to June 7, 2016.)
In this survey, the researchers focus on the household, environment, marital status, number of births per woman and the cases of disabilities. This study provides data on the demographic structure of Saudi and non-Saudis people in kingdom by region. In addition, a number of indicators and demographic rates may be drawn for fertility, deaths, age and gender structure as well as to be acquainted with the marriage and divorce rates in the kingdom. Also, it sheds light on the family planning techniques and the education status in addition to details on the disabilities, causes, levels and the social and demographic characteristics of the people with disabilities. In this study, new subjects were added about the housing and environment, for example, the approximate age of the residences, data on the family members, including newborn weight and feeding, smoking and the orphanhood.
Bellow, we can find a short brief on the methodology, main concepts and definitions adopted for the survey.
The GAStat is pleased to provide data and main indicators on the population in the Kingdom through this bulletin which is divided into two main sections. The first section covers the demographic characteristics of population while the second section deals with the housing and householding characteristics. The authority hopes the results of these two parts meet the needs of planners, researchers and whoever is interested in the population studies.
