Although the census was carried out on 2000, but still it is the latest survey made by The Department of Statistics. Take a look and you may find some interesting facts and learn more about our own country.

In Census 2000 there were 104 males for every 100 females, a marginal increase over the sex ratio of 103 in 1991.

Hmm... How did they come about this statistic? I doubt they did any bancian or surveys around my area for the last 4 years...

one of the explanations is probably extrapolation.

another one, they do have record on who was born on what date, who died when. assuming both records are straight, which is supposed to be one of their jobs, they could get the total population number.

So, the question how did they get the number is not really a profound problem.

Hmm... Ok, so assuming that the rate of emmigration and immigration is the same, no. of deaths = no. of birth, and so on... In conclusion - we need more females!

when i said straight, i didnt mean everything is equal.
I mean the numbers that they obtained are relatively accurate.

Hmm... Even though the record is straight, they still have to estimate the rate of emmi and immigration, right? i think i'm a little wrong about the birth and death rate ler.
