Vice President, Domestic Programs</em> </p> <p>Newspapers today reported on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081205075007/http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/2008-11-09-ocean-census_N.htm">results of a massive, global census. </a>But this is not a typical census of people and housing. It is the largest-ever census of marine life. The purpose? To “assess and explain the diversity, distribution, and abundance of life in the oceans,” according to the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081205075007/http://www.coml.org/">Census of Marine Life website</a></p> <p>The task seems daunting. After all, oceans cover more than 70 percent of the world’s surface, and parts of the ocean are thousands of feet deep. But this initiative got me thinking: if we can conduct such a massive census of undersea life, why can’t we conduct a global census of human population?</p> <p>The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081205075007/http://www.measuredhs.com/">Demographic and Health Surveys </a>provide something like a global census for developing countries, but there are no comparable surveys of the developed world. Yet with globalization and rising levels of international migration, national boundaries are increasingly blurred. In the United States, rapid population growth and increasing race/ethnic diversity is closely linked to trends in immigration, particularly from Latin America and Asia. Policymakers and researchers could use data from a global census to help predict future trends in population growth, diversity, and migration.</p> <p>OK, this may be asking too much. Conducting a global census would cost billions of dollars, and who would foot the bill? What kinds of questions would yield comparable data across the world’s vastly different cultures?</p> <p>Let’s hold off on the global census, but how about starting on a smaller scale, with a continental census of North America? Canada, Mexico, and the United States each conduct regular censuses, but population concepts and questionnaire items vary widely across the three countries.
