2021 Population Housing Census Exercise Comes off in Ghana
2021 Population Census
The usual decade exercise is underway from June 27th night to 11th July 2021 in Ghana and all persons in Ghana will be counted.
The Population Census is the official enumeration of all persons in a country at a specified time. The enumeration also implies the collection, compilation, evaluation, analysis, publication, and dissemination of demographic, social, and economic statistics relating to the population.
A Housing Census is the official enumeration of all living quarters (occupied and vacant) in a country at a specified time. This enumeration also implies the collection, compilation, evaluation, analysis, publication, and dissemination of statistical data pertaining to these living quarters and the occupants, and this is done every decade(10 years) and the enumerators are under oath not to disclose any information taken from respondents.
The Ghana 2021 Population and Housing Census (PHC) will consist of a population census and a housing census as one operation. The two censuses, though separate, constitute one statistical operation and they are not completely independent of each other because of the essential elements of each census which are common to both and are also with well-coordinated activities. In this way, the information on the population and living quarters can be more readily matched, and processing is facilitated, and extensive analysis can be carried out. This also makes it possible to relate to the housing census data, the information on demographic and economic characteristics of each household member that is routinely collected in the population census.
2021 Population and Housing Census
Ghana has conducted five post-independent population censuses in 1960, 1970, 1984, 2000 and 2010 with the last two consisting of both a population census and a housing census making the 2021 PHC the third Population and Housing Census to be conducted in Ghana. The 2021 PHC is designed to generate statistics that are essential for policy and planning purposes. It is therefore of the greatest importance to every person living in Ghana. The census information will be used for only statistical purposes and is not to be used for identifying people for taxation or punitive purposes.

The song is accompanied by an equally splendid and captivating music video… It doesn’t look like Dedebah is slowing down anytime soon… In this super witty Rap anthem, the prolific rapper addresses most of the pertinent issues the Ghanaian music industry seems to be facing in a series of rhetoric questions…
She touches base on the lack of unity amongst artistes, the lack of support for Ghanaians from Ghanaians, the non-existent of structures, royalty and copyright difficulties, the exploitative nature of certain so-called “managers” especially towards female artistes, lack of investors et cetera…
The video was directed by Flinch Visions whiles the beat was produced by AMG’s own Unkle Beatz. Vocal mix and mastering was done by LowKey Beatz…
YOU WILL LOVE THIS!!!
