A/2. The expenditures on the survey include exclusively the total amount of salaries paid to the persons participating in the registration. (The material expenses of the survey figure among the costs of the central apparatus. ) A/3. TO the processing are included the expected values of salaries of the coding (manual techniques). A/4. The costs specified as publication costs include the value of thé publications to be forwarded free of charge or in exchange, exclusively on the purpose to inform inland and foreign agencies, as well as the value of the publications needed for the own use of the centred apparatus - considering that the data collections and the analytical papers dealing with the census are generally published by the Statisztikai Kiadó Vállalat (Publishing House of Statistics) and are sold in bookshops. A/5. All other expenses appearing in the periods of the survey, the processing and publication, are included to the expenditures made by the central apparatus. All this included Ithe costs of the - preparation of the instructions; - training of the data processing; - processing work to be centrally performed; - processing of the 1 per cent sample survey results; - processing of the subsequent registration; - processing of sample surveys dealing with special topics; - technical conditions and tools needed to perform the operations connected with the previous items; - analysis and publication of the different data destined for the publicity. The real expenditures on the census have been somewhat modified as compared with the expenditure forecasts in some respects. The survey costs slightly exceeded the planned level. Concerning this item, no savings could be expected anyway, since the survey charges calculated were only a modest recompensation of the work performed. The costs of the data processing are fundamentally affected by two factors. During the seventies, no unemployed labour force was available any more, thus the work could not be performed in two shifts as planned previously. 92
