population survey
Counting the people
A population survey is a systematic effort to collect information from individuals within a defined group—whether an entire population or a representative sample.
Government agencies conduct population surveys to gather demographic data: The census is the most comprehensive population survey.
Researchers use them to study health, employment, or public opinion: The population survey revealed declining birth rates.
