FOREWORD

Statistical data that reflect the socio-economic and demographic conditions of the residents of a

country are useful for designing and preparation of development plans as well as for monitoring

and evaluation of the impact of the implementation of the development plans. These statistical

data include population size, age, sex, literacy and education, marital status, housing stocks

and conditions etc. In order to fill the gap for these socio-economic and demographic data

need, Ethiopia has conducted its third National Population and Housing Census in May, 2007

and November 2007.

The 2007 Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia was conducted under the auspices of the

Population Census Commission that was established by a proclamation No. 449/1997. The

Commission is chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister and the members of the commission were

drawn from various relevant Ministries, Regional states representatives, House of Federation,

National Electoral Board and the Central Statistical Agency, serving as the Office of the Census

Commission (Secretariat). According to the proclamation, the Processing, evaluation and

analyses of the data collected in this census as well as its dissemination are the major

responsibilities of this office. Thus, the Office of the Population Census Commission is pleased

to present the census report entitled The 2007 Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia:

Statistical Report for Oromiya Region for the users. Subsequently, another report which deals

with detailed analysis of the result of the 2007 Population and Housing Census data is in the

process of being prepared and will also be prepared and printed soon.

Before the conduct of a census enumeration, numbers of preparatory activities were also

carried-out. Among the major census preparatory activities was the conduct of the Population

and Housing Census Map Work. During this census cartographic work urban and rural kebeles

of the region were sub-divided into enumeration areas, each having 150-200 housing units and

households, respectively. About 5-6 contiguous enumeration areas were made to form one

supervision area. In this exercise for each enumeration and supervision area maps have been

prepared.

During the census enumeration, each enumerator was given a map of an enumeration area

along with other census document and was he/she responsible to record all persons and

households in that enumeration area without omission and duplication. One supervisor was also

i

ii

assigned to a supervision area and was responsible for ensuring the quality of the information

collected in the area of his/her jurisdiction. Unlike the previous censuses, in this census

enumerators were primary school teachers while supervisors were secondary school teachers.

It is to be noted that the Population and Housing Census is a huge nation wide operation which

could not be undertaken by a single organization. Thus, full cooperation and assistance of

government and non-government organizations, donor agencies and from the general public

have been obtained for the 2007 Population and Housing Census.

The office of the Population Census Commission is therefore, very grateful to the Government

of Ethiopia for its huge financial and administrative support. The office is also grateful to the

development partners particularly; the United Nations Population Fund for Population Activities

(UNFPA) and the Department for International Development (DFID) for their generous financial,

logistics and technical support. Thanks are also due to the United Nations Development

Program (UNDP), the Embassy of Japan, Italian Cooperation, United Nations Childrens Fund

(UNICEF), as well as the Dutch and Irish Governments for their substantial financial support.

Finally, the office would like to express its appreciation for the elementary and secondary school

teachers who did the data collection and supervision activities; the staff members of the Central

Statistical Agency for their invaluable contributions throughout the census operations and also

more importantly, the general public as well as the administrators at all levels, who were critical

to the success of census enumeration.

The office hopes that the data contained in this Statistical Report will be utilized by all data

users for various development planning.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION This chapter presents an over view of the contents of the census report entitled The 2007

Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia: Statistical Report for Oromiya Region. The report

presents the major statistical data that are essential to planners, administrators, researchers

and other data users in a table format.

In Oromiya Region the census has covered the then existing total of 6889 rural and urban

Kebeles which were then sub-divided into 30585 enumeration areas. The May 2007 Population

and Housing Census was the third Population and Housing Census. The first Population and

Housing Census was conducted in May 1984 whereas the second Population and Housing

Census of Ethiopia was conducted in October, 1994. In this third Census, twenty eight of May,

2007 was used as the census day or census reference day. The census has counted people on

dejure and defacto basis. The dejure population comprises all the persons who belong to a

given area at a given time by virtue of usual residence, while under defacto approach people

were counted as the residents of the place where they found (Shryock et al., 1976). In the

census, a person is said to be a usual resident of a household ( and hence an area ) if he/ she

has been residing in the household continuously for at least six months before the census day

or intends to reside in the household for six months or longer. Thus, visitors are not included

with the usual (dejure) population. Homeless persons were enumerated in the place where they

spent the night on the enumeration day. The 2007 census counted foreign nationals who were

residing in the region. On the other hand all Ethiopians living abroad were not counted.

In this census the questionnaires that were used to collect information were generally prepared

in Amharic. However, English translations of the questionnaires were used to collect data from

the foreigners residing in Oromiya Region.

In the census two types of questionnaires were used:

i) Short Questionnaire (Appendix II) and

ii) Long Questionnaire (Appendix III)

Unlike the previous censuses, the contents of the short and long questionnaires were similar

both for the urban and rural areas as well as for all regions. But the short and the long

questionnaires differ by the number of variables they contained. The short questionnaire was

1

used to collect basic data on population such as population size, sex, age, language, ethnic

group, religion, orphan hood and disability. Where as a long questionnaire includes information

on marital status, education, economic activity, migration, fertility, mortality, and housing stocks

and conditions in addition to these questions contained in a short questionnaire.

The questionnaires were filled-in by enumerators who went from one household to the next. All

members of the household were recorded on the same questionnaire if their number is eight or

less and on consecutive questionnaires if their members are more than eight. The type of

questionnaire administered to each household depends on whether a household was selected

for a long questionnaire or not. The selection procedure was determined by using a systematic

sampling as follows. During the three days before the census day all households and housing

units were listed in a separate form designed for the purpose. Then, this list was used to

identify the type of questionnaire that was to be administered to the households. One out of five

households was systematically selected /following scientific procedures/ to be interviewed using

the long questionnaire, while the other remaining four were interviewed using the short

questionnaire. Residents of hotels, hostels and other collective quarters were being interviewed

using a long questionnaire whereas homeless persons were counted using a short

questionnaire.

Accordingly, information presented in this report that refer to population size, sex, age

composition, language, ethnic group, religion, disability and orphan hood status of children

under 18 years were collected from all persons covered in the census. However, some other

information presented in this report was collected from a sample of the population. Even

though information the long questionnaire was collected from a sample of the population,

statistical weights were applied to make them represent the entire population. This means that

the numbers presented in the tables that refer to education, economic activity, fertility, mortality

etc were made to represent the entire population of Oromiya Region covered in the census

and not only the sampled population.

The fact that the information was collected from a sample of households and not from the entire

households does not make the information less reliable. In fact this process is expected to

increase the quality of the information collected by reducing the work load that would have been

faced if all households were covered using the long questionnaires. The reduction of the work

2

load improves the quality of the data through facilitating a closer supervision during field work

and enabling the timely processing of the data collected.

This report contains eight chapters. The first chapter serves as an introduction to the report.

Chapter II presents the basic population characteristics such as type of residence, relation to

head of household and age. Chapter III presents other population characteristics such as

religion, mother tongue, ethnic group and marital status. Chapter IV contains statistical data on

disability and orphan hood. Chapter V presents literacy status, school attendance and

educational attainment. Chapter VI presents economic activity that deals with current and usual

economic activity as well as employment and unemployment statuses. Chapter VII contains

data on population dynamics dealing with fertility, mortality and migration. Chapter VIII presents

information on Housing conditions and characteristics. Each chapter has a brief description

concerning the type of questions asked and the corresponding answer categories, instructions

followed by the enumerator while interviewing, basic definitions of concepts, etc. Population of

urban and rural kebeles by sex with number of households and housing units and facsimiles of

questionnaires- Amharic and English are presented as annexes I to III at the end of this report.

It worth mentioning that because of the use of weights, slight discrepancies between various

tables may sometimes be observed for some of the data collected by long questionnaire. Apart

form this, tables that deal with education, economic activity and housing however, exclude the

number of homeless population. Since the homeless population is very small as compared to

the total population of a Region, the discrepancies are very small. Homeless persons were

enumerated using only the short questionnaire because the enumeration took place at night at

the place where they were sleeping, and it was not convenient to apply long questionnaires in

such situation.

General Information The following points are worth mentioning regarding the contents of this statistical report, the

supply of the compiled statistical data in print and digital copies and also concerning access to

raw data:

a) The majority of the tables containing statistical data on population characteristics,

education, economic activity, fertility, mortality, migration and housing stock and

conditions were aggregated at region and zone levels and only very few tables are

produced at wereda level.

3

b) More detailed information up to wereda and town levels will be provided in digital

form on CDs. Apart from these, raw data as well as further detailed cross tabulations

can be obtained from the Census Commission office up on the users request.

CHAPTER-II

BASIC POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS This chapter presents population size by type of residence, relationship to head of the

household and age classified by sex. Detailed information on the characteristics of the

population is also presented for the regions. Theses include type of residence, number of

housing unit, household size, relationship to the head of the household, headship rate,

population by zones, weredas, towns, urban and rural residence, conventional and non-

conventional households, single year and population by five years age group, etc.

The type of residence is one of the questions included in the census questionnaire. Type of residence is categorized into two major groups, namely, conventional and non-

conventional. Please note that, in Tables 2.5 the population size of pastoralists are added to

conventional households, in addition to that, Tables 2.6 and 2.7 also include the population size

of pastoralists. Respondents who live in the same housing unit and have common cooking

arrangements (eat their food together) are said to be residing in conventional households. The

non-conventional population in turn is sub-divided into residents of collective quarters

(hotel/hostel and other collective quarters) and homeless. A collective quarter is a housing unit,

a building, or a compound in which a number of unrelated persons reside together and share

common facilities e.g. boarding schools, prisons, hotels, hostels, etc. Homeless persons refer

to individuals without any fixed residence. Pastoralists are people who are wandering from

place to palace in search of grass and water for their animals. Almost the same question was

included in the 1994 census but the response categories were conventional, hotel/hostel, other

collective quarters, nomads and homeless.

The 2007 census has also collected information on members of the household and their

relationship to the head. The question asked was NAME what is your relationship to the head

of the household? the categories for this question are head, spouse, child of head and/or

spouse, parent of head/spouse, sibling of head/spouse, niece/nephew of head or spouse,

grandchild of head or spouse, other relatives of head or spouse and non-relatives. This

question was also included in the 1994 census but there was very much little difference in the

categories. The head of the household is any member of the household who is recognized as a

5

head by the members. In a polygamous marriage where each of the wives has their own

separated households the husband is considered to be the head or member of the household

of the first wife. The other wives or other members (e.g. elder son) are considered to be the

head of their respective households.

The information on age is collected from every individual counted in the census. The

question was presented as what is NAMEs age? for an infant less than one year of age the

enumerator was instructed to shade 00. On the other hand, for a person whose age was 97

years and more all enumerators were trained to record as 97. Age information is recorded in

completed years. For instance, a person whose age was 37 years 11 months and 29 days on

the census date the enumerator will record it as 37. For those people who did not know their

exact age the enumerators have been trained how to probe with the help of historical events in

the enumerators manual, which has been collected from the 9 regional states and two city

administrations. Apart from this other method that would be used by the enumerators to get an

exact age or to make a reasonable estimate of the respondents age are included in the

manual. This question was also available in the 1994 census in the same way as in 2007
