Abstract

ALBO, Xavier. The 2012 census in Bolivia: possibilities and constraints in relation to indigenous peoples. Tinkazos [online]. 2012, vol.15, n.32, pp.33-45. ISSN 1990-7451.

Based on the questions and results of the 2001 census and earlier ones, and the questions that will be asked in the 2012 census, the author identifies and analyses certain issues and their implications for the country’s indigenous and rural peoples. The 2001 data, the author points out, continue to represent a baseline that can be used to compare progress or setbacks with regard to the ethnic and linguistic situation, ethnic jurisdictions and dual residence in Bolivia

Keywords : censuses; data gathering; surveys; ethnic identity; self-identification ; language; geographical population distribution; residence; territorial organization.
