Iraq has initiated its first nationwide population census in almost four decades, aiming to improve data collection and planning in a country affected by decades of conflict. This census, which will employ advanced technology, is expected to influence resource distribution, budget allocations, and development planning while addressing concerns from minority groups about their political representation. Conducted under a national curfew with international oversight, the counting method will include internally displaced persons based on their current residences, excluding those living abroad. The last national census was conducted in 1987, making this a significant event for Iraq’s future.
