In other words, a large-scale operation for which the public authorities are providing major interest and considerable resources. Due to its scale, the density of the data collected, the volume and content of the information processed, this action will allow all operators, whatever their level of responsibility and intervention, to better identify the different and multiple changes in the economic and social landscape of the nation. As a precise and recent measurement of the significant parameters of Algerian society, in the plurality of their aspects and their variations in time and space, the census and its results are a source of lessons and statistical information whose relevance and reliability will not fail to guarantee the validity of forecasts and development policies to be carried out in the future at the national, regional, local and sectoral levels.
