Abstract

Aiming to update the economic, demographic, and social characteristics and housing conditions of the population, Morocco conducted its last General Population and Housing Census (GPHC) in 2014. Accurate data on age is a key element for decision making, and necessary to build policies and improve health indicators. The main objective of this paper is to assess the quality of age reporting in the 2014 Morocco census. We found that grouped age data was of poor quality in two regions. More attention should be paid to improving data quality in those regions in the coming census, especially among men.
