The Workshop on the Future of Federal Household Surveys, held at the request of the U.S. Census Bureau, was designed to address the increasing concern among many members of the federal statistical system that federal household data collections in their current form are unsustainable. The workshop brought together leaders in the statistical community to discuss opportunities for enhancing the relevance, quality, and cost-effectiveness of household surveys sponsored by the federal statistical system. The future of federal household surveys is a factual summary of the presentations and related discussions that transpired during the workshop. This summary includes a number of solutions that range from methodological approaches, such as the use of administrative data, to emphasis on interagency cooperative efforts."--Publisher's description Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 97-98) Notes English Print version record SUBJECT American community survey -- Technological innovations -- Evaluation -- Congresses American community survey fast Subject Household surveys -- Technological innovations -- United States -- Evaluation -- Congresses Administrative agencies -- United States -- Statistical services -- Congresses Social surveys -- United States -- Evaluation -- Congresses SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Statistics.
