List,
In case there have been no postings on this already, Vietnam has just
conducted a national population and housing census, the official dates of
reckoning being April 1-15. Since 1979, Vietnam has conducted its census
every ten years. The results, (enhanced) questions asked, and
coverage/response issues intersect with many discussion threads of this
list.
Below are a couple links. The first is to Vietnam's General Statistics
Office (sublinks here in Vietnamese, the English are more limited). The
second is an article from Vietnam News for a more general audience.
According to the latter, some preliminary results are expected by July.
