1990. ÉVI NÉPSZÁMLÁLÁS 3. Összefoglaló adatok (1992)

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION The results of the 1990 population census are published by the Hungarian Central Statistical Office in a series of publications. The first volume of this series contains the preliminary results of the census. Besides, also a volume containing the most important data combinations based on a 2 percent sample selected from the population census returns, has been published. According to the demands, efforts were made to make separately available, even before the publication of the detailed data, some pieces of information which may be of interest to people in leading positions in the state administration and local selfgovernments as well as to scientific research workers and to other specialists. Therefore, besides the traditional population census publications, volumes with the data of the sex and age composition of the population by localities as well as with the main data of inner and outer areas have been published. As a continuation of the series of publications, with regard to each county a separate volume is being published containing the detailed demographic occupational, household and family data of the population census. The information available in the framework of the series on counties are now published in this volume on country-level. Its chapter "summary data" provides a retrospective comparison with the results of previous population an housing censuses. This is followed by combined tables of 1990 on the country as a whole and on the urban areas by population-size categories and, finally by data in the form of county series. The volume presents data according to the administrative division of January 1, 1990. Added to the volume a separate chapter provides explanations on the concepts applied.
