Survejanca

Survejanca is a term used to describe a form of population census performed by the statistical offices of Bosnia and Herzegovina and other countries in the region. The term is derived from the Albanian language, roughly translating to "population count". It refers to the process of gathering detailed demographic and socioeconomic data about the population through intensive surveys and censuses.

The first Survejanca was conducted in 2011 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the goal of producing a comprehensive and up-to-date profile of the population. The census included data on age, sex, nationality, education, occupation, health, and other demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.

The Survejanca is arranged and coordinated by the Agency for Statistics of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with assistance from international organizations and donor agencies. The data collected is used for a variety of purposes, including policy-making, urban planning, and social welfare programs. It has also been used to monitor the progress towards meeting the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals.

Each region in Bosnia and Herzegovina has a unique set of data that reflects the cultural, historical, and economic characteristics of the local population. The Survejanca data is therefore highly valued as a national and regional resource, providing a baseline for current socioeconomic trends and laying the groundwork for future planning and development initiatives.

By aggregating and analyzing these data, policymakers and researchers are able to identify key challenges and opportunities, and make informed decisions to address emerging needs and issues. The Survejanca has become an essential tool in the country's efforts to promote social inclusion, economic development, and sustainable growth.
