Non-response  (NON-RESPONSE)


Censuses are generally compulsory1, i. e., respondents (204-1) are under a legal obligation to provide the required information; in this respect they are different from voluntary inquiries2, where the problem of non-response3 may become important. This is particularly the case in postal inquiries (203-7), where it is often necessary to follow-up4 the first questionnaire by a second, or sometimes by a visit. Non-respondents5 are often divided into those who refuse6, i. e., who are unwilling to co-operate in the inquiry, and those who could not be found by the interviewer (204-2). The latter are counted as no contacts7.
