7. Conclusions
A detailed analysis of the construction of variables for the 2016-PCF allows
us to conclude that it is already almost a complete Population Census. If we
consider the planned improvements that it will be included in the future, all
the Regulation requirements would be amply met. 2016-PCF leaves out of
doubt the viability of the registers as the main data source in 2021 Census.
Spain would become one of the most populated countries (perhaps the
largest) in the world with a register-based Census
Regarding the Housing Census, the situation is not so conclusive. The tasks
for building the framework are still ongoing. Anyway it can be stated that a
complete Housing Census based on registers will be also available with the
same or higher quality than using traditional method.
