Abstract: Several countries are currently investigating the possibility of replacing the costly population census with a Population Data set derived from administrative sources, in combination with a purposely designed Population Coverage Survey. We formulate the assumptions of the dual system estimator in this context, and contrast them to the situation involving a census and a Census Coverage Survey.
