The National Population and Housing Census 2022, where all persons in Guyana are counted, began yesterday.

The Census takes a complete count of the population and buildings of the country with the aim of providing vital data for developmental plans for the nation, as well as providing the private sector with information that will help in new areas of investment.

And according to a Bureau of Statistics release, the first persons to be counted were the households of the President, Prime Minister, and the Leader of the Opposition.
