The two-week survey is to verify the information collected from the population census of 2016.
Winston Fainga’anuku of the Statistic’s department says the survey is held after every census to ensure no one is left behind or counted twice.
Radio Tonga reports the questions asked are the same as the questionnaires on the population census such as head of the family, marital status, employment, religion to name a few.
Enumerators will conduct the survey in Fasi, Ma’ufanga, Havelu and Houma in Tongatapu, Angahaa in ‘Eua, Faleloa in Ha’apai and Neiafu Vava’u.
