## 2002 Turkey Disability Survey

## Purpose of Disability Survey

- The aim of this survey is to collect data on
- Number of disabled people,
- The proportion of disability,
- The type of disability(orthopedical, seeing, hearing, speaking and mental disability),
- The cause of disability,

## Purpose of Disability Survey (Continued)

- The socio-economic characteristics of disabled population,
- The family and social life status of disabled population,
- The problems of disabled population in their working lives and daily lives,
- Their expectations from institutions

## Purpose of Disability Survey (Continued)

- The another aim of the survey is to collect data on population having chronic illnesses.

**Notes:**
The overall objective of this project is to develop the population and housing census system in order to improve topics included in the census definitions, classification and application that are compatible with EU requirements by keeping previous trend of the censuses which has to be taken into account during these improvements for continuity and comparability.

## The Time of Survey

- Turkey Disability Survey was carried out in December 2002.

**Notes:**
The overall objective of this project is to develop the population and housing census system in order to improve topics included in the census definitions, classification and application that are compatible with EU requirements by keeping previous trend of the censuses which has to be taken into account during these improvements for continuity and comparability.

## Institutions

- This survey was carried out by The State Institute of Statistics in cooperation with The Precidency of Administration on Disabled People.

**Notes:**
To test all stages of the census; including design and application of census questionnaire, defining enumeration areas, field operation, data evaluation and dissemination, a pilot census before the 2010 census will be carried out under the supervision of EU advisor in 2007-2008. Based on this concept, the SIS staff will increase the knowledge and capacity on conducting a census through the pilot census. Experiences and lessons gained from the pilot census will be main inputs for organizing and implementing the 2010 Population and Housing Census to ensure comparability with EU norms.

## Coverage of Disability Survey

## Household Qestionnaire

- 	With household questionnaire it was obtained  all individuals’ socio-economic characteristics. However, it was determined individuals having chronic illnesses and  orthopedical, seeing, hearing, speaking and mental disability.
- 	If a person has any disability (orthopedical, seeing, hearing, speaking and mental), it was applied the disabled person questionnaire, Otherwise, the interview was ended for this person.

**Notes:**
Main limitations in the current census system

1.         It is not possible to determine usual resident population which is a core variable recommended by the UN ECE/Eurostat because all population censuses were carried out according to the de facto type of population census in Turkey. Information on place of usual residence should be collected in detail for de jure type of population census. 

      We are planning to replace the current de facto definition with de jure definition in the 2010 Population and Housing Census. In addition, de facto population must also be determined in the census together with de jure population in order to compare data with previous censuses.

2.                   Census questionnaire includes restricted questions because of the one-day application of census with the national curfew. Main questions related to demographic, social and economic characteristics of the population, and a few questions about housing units are included in the census questionnaire. Detailed questions especially on migration, disability, education, household status and characteristics of housing units can not be asked in the census.

3.          The United Nations and Eurostat recommend carrying out population and housing censuses together. It says, “Censuses covering the total population and housing stock are indispensable for providing statistics on the population, family, household and housing situation on a uniform basis for small areas and sub-groups”. But in Turkey, the total usually resident population, the number of households, household population and number of dwellings are not able to compile in the censuses because of de facto type of census. For this reason, our censuses are called as “population census”, not “population and housing census”.

## Disabled Person Questionnaire

- 	With disabled person questionnaire it was obtained  information on all disabled individuals determined in household questionnaire. In the first part, it was obtained information on disabled individuals characteristics, their expectations from Institutions. In the second part, it was obtained detailed information on disabled persons for each type of disability.

**Notes:**
The core variables of the ECE/ Eurostat Census Recommendations have been identified as necessary and essential through years of serious work and user consultations by a great number of national and international experts participating in the preparatory work of the Recommendations.  In the guidelines,[1] it is indicated that because the variables are core variables, they are, or should be, included into the national census programmes within the ECE region. Most of the  tables in the “Guidelines and Table Programme of Population and Housing Censuses" are in related with usual resident population e.g. usual resident population by sex, age, type of household, household status, marital and cohabitational status at national, regional and local levels. 

According to “Agreement on the Guidelines for the Community Program of Population and Housing Censuses in 2001”[1], for the performance of the various tasks conferred on it by the Treaty establishing the European Community, in particular Articles 2, 3, 117, 118, 122 and 123 thereof, the Commission must have access to comparable, coherent, synchronized and regular statistical data on the population, employment, households, families and housing at Community, national, regional and local level.

- In each type of disability section; it
- was obtained detailed information on
- disabled people. These are;
- The first appearance time of disability,
- Age of being disability,
- The cause of disability,
- The type/degree of disability,
- The status of being treated,
- The status of using apparatus,
- Problems affecting their daily lives

## Survey Results

Information on place of usual residence should be collected in detail for de jure type of population census. 

      We are planning to replace the current de facto definition with de jure definition in the 2010 Population and Housing Census. In addition, de facto population must also be determined in the census together with de jure population in order to compare data with previous censuses.

2.                   Census questionnaire includes restricted questions because of the one-day application of census with the national curfew. Main questions related to demographic, social and economic characteristics of the population, and a few questions about housing units are included in the census questionnaire. Detailed questions especially on migration, disability, education, household status and characteristics of housing units can not be asked in the census.

3.          The United Nations and Eurostat recommend carrying out population and housing censuses together. It says, “Censuses covering the total population and housing stock are indispensable for providing statistics on the population, family, household and housing situation on a uniform basis for small areas and sub-groups”. But in Turkey, the total usually resident population, the number of households, household population and number of dwellings are not able to compile in the censuses because of de facto type of census. For this reason, our censuses are called as “population census”, not “population and housing census”.
