Chief Statistician Lennox Benjamin yesterday said that the National Bureau of Statistics is “slightly behind” its announced six-week enumeration schedule for the census, after some enumerators quit because they have found the work too daunting.
“We have had the reality check that some of the enumerators that were trained and were put in the field from all appearances have found the work daunting… We have had that challenge of persons who have actually started the work as enumerators and have since dropped out. We have found at this time the greater propensity being those in the coastal regions,”
