SA Money Daily The biggest business, economic and market news of the day. AHMED AREFF, BUSINESS DEPUTY EDITOR Census 2022: Experts warn flawed data could impact big Stats SA surveys, budget allocations Economists, public policy analysts, and researchers have warned that any flaws and inaccuracies in Census 2022 will have a knock-on effect on all of Stats SA's large surveys, as the sampling frames are weighted using the census.   This will affect the Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS), which measures employment; the Income and Expenditure Survey, which measures the distribution of wealth and income; and the General Household Survey, which measures a range of developmental indicators, as well as poverty levels.   Problems with census data will also impact the work of researchers in the area of poverty and inequality, and those that track the efficacy of social policy interventions, from health to education and welfare.   However, the most immediate impact will be the fiscal one, and the impact on the budgetary allocations for municipalities and provinces, which are based on a formula according to population distribution and income.
