Explanation

The 7th Population and Housing Census, carried out in 2023 by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, was the first census in Pakistan to be fully digital. It was conducted between March and May 2023 and incorporated modern technology such as Android tablets for data collection, a self-enumeration portal, and GPS/GIS-based geo-tagging of structures. This marked a major advancement in the digitization of census operations in Pakistan and the broader South Asian region.
