All persons who were present on Republic of South African territory during census night (i.e. at midnight between 6 and 7 May 1980) were enumerated and included in the data. Visitors from abroad who were present in the RSA on holiday or business on the night of the census, as well as foreigners (and their families) who were studying or economically active, were not enumerated and included in the figures. Likewise, members of the Diplomatic and Consular Corps of foreign countries were not included. However, the South African personnel linked to the foreign missions including domestic workers were enumerated. Crews and passengers of ships were also not enumerated, unless they were normally resident in the Republic of South Africa. Residents of the RSA who were absent from the night were as far as possible enumerated on their return and included in the region where they normally resided. Personnel of the South African Government stationed abroad and their families were, however enumerated. Such persons were included in the Transvaal (Pretoria). GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: South Africa IMPORTANT VARIABLES : Particulars of dwellings- type of dwelling, number of rooms, and ownership; Particulars of person- relationship within household, sex, age, marital status, population group, birthplace, country of citizenship, duration of residence at normal dwelling, religion/denomination, languages and literacy, level of education, sport and recreation, occupation, work status, identity of employer, economic sector and income; Particulars of the family including children at boarding school, university or undergoing military training. UNIVERSE : The 1980 census covered the so-called white areas of South Africa, i.e. the areas in the former four provinces of the Cape, the Orange Free State, Transvaal, and Natal. It also covered areas in the following so-called National States of Ciskei, KwaZulu, Gazankulu, Lebowa, Qwaqwa, Kangwane, and Kwandebele. The 1980 South African census excluded the areas of the Transkei and Bophuthatswana. DATE OF FIELDWORK: 7 May 1980 METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION : In most cases the boundaries of the census districts corresponded with those of the magisterial districts. However, in some cases the boundaries did not correspond, particularly in the areas in and around the “National States”. This was to facilitate the administration of the census and to make it easier to exclude figures of the “National states” form provincial totals. The RSA was divided into 316 census districts with a census supervisor in charge of enumeration in each such area. These census districts were in turn subdivided into approximately 24 000 enumerator sub- districts (ESDs). The size of ESDs varied according to the number of persons in the ESD. The enumeration procedures differed by area. The procedure in white urban areas was as follows: Prior to the night of the census, every enumerator whose ESD fell within the limits of any municipality or other urban are, delivered the applicable questionnaires to every dwelling in the ESD. Thus for part of the country the 1980 Census was conducted by way of distributing census questionnaires beforehand and collecting the completed returns after the census day. In cases where the enumerator was requested to, as well as where the respondent was unable to complete the questionnaire, the census enumerator assisted in the completion thereof. In white non-urban areas, questionnaires were not distributed before census day except to hotels. On census day the enumerator had to hand the questionnaires to the householder for immediate return. In black residential areas, enumerators carried out a comprehensive door-to-door survey. The particulars of all persons were entered on the appropriate questionnaire. Particulars were filled out by the enumerator except where the respondent indicated that s(he) wanted to fill out the questionnaire him(herself). Questionnaires were not distributed before census day. Every household was enumerated on a separate questionnaire. For the purpose of the 1980 census urban area was defined as areas with some form of local authority. Industrial and mine towns without any form of local authority and other areas not included under urban was defined as non-urban. UNDER-ENUMERATION: All censuses are open to error. The following under-enumeration figures have been calculated for the 1980 census. Africans, excluding foreigners had an estimated overall under-enumeration rate of 22.7% (25.7% for males and 19.7% for females) Estimated percentage distribution of undercount by race: Source Statistics SA HSRC White 7.1% 8.5% Black 19.5% 22.5% Colored 6.1% 3.2% Asian 8.6% 4.4% UNITS OF OBSERVATION: Persons were used as units of analysis.
