إحصاء المملكة المتحدة

الوثيقة المستخدمة لإحصاء المنازل الإنگليزية أثناء تعداد 2001.

Coincident full census have taken place in the different jurisdictions of the المملكة المتحدة every ten years since 1801, with the exceptions of 1941 (during الحرب العالمية الثانية) and in both Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State in 1921. Simultaneous censuses were taken in the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, with the returns being archived with those of إنگلترة. In addition to providing detailed information about national demographics, the results of the census play an important part in the calculation of resource allocation to regional and local service providers by the governments of both the UK and the European Union. The most recent UK census took place in 2011.[1]

التاريخ

وفي سنة 1801 أجرت الحكومة أول إحصاء مبني على أسس علمية في بريطانيا العظمى (إنجلترا، وويلز، واسكتلندا) وأدى هذا إلى فزع المواطنين الذين استاؤوا من انتهاك خصوصياتهم كمقدمة لإخضاعهم لتنظيم صارم(5). وأظهرت نتيجة الإحصاء المسجلة أن عدد سكان بريطانيا العظمى في ذلك الوقت كان 646،249،01 (كان عدد سكان الولايات المتحدة في ذلك الوقت نحو 6,000,000) وبحلول عام 1811 كان عدد سكان بريطانيا العظمى قد ازداد ليصبح 441،255،21(6). وربما تعكس الزيادة زيادة كميات الطعام المتاحة وتحسن الخدمات الطبية وانخفاض نسبة الوفيات بين كبار السن والأطفال. لقد زاد سكان لندن في سنة 1811 ليصبح 1,009,546 لكن التوسع الأكثر أهمية والأكثر ضخامة كان في الشمال والغرب الصناعيين، وفي سنة 1181 كان عدد السكان العاملين في مجالي الزراعة والرعي هو: 895,998 على وفق ما هو وارد في السجلات بينما كان العاملون في مجالي الصناعة والتجاربة 1,128,049 وفي أعمال أخرى 519,168.(7) لقد ضيّقت الحكومة على الزراعة بإقرارها نظام الحظائر المسيجة (التي ترعى فيها الأغنام...) وشجعت الصناعة بالعمل لصالح المشروعات الخاصة (الحرة) وبالحماية الجمركية وبمنع اتحادات العمال من المطالبة بأجور أفضل (1800)، كما عملت على تحسين أحوال التجارة بتحسين الطرق والمجاري المائية، وبتشييد أسطول بحري بريطاني لا يُقهر. لقد حقق التجار والصناع والماليون ثروات كبيرة وفاز بعضهم بمقاعد في البرلمان أو اشتروها (حصلوا عليها لقاء مال دفعوه).
