Beyond 2011

The Beyond 2011 programme was established by the National Records of Scotland in September 2011 to explore the future provision of population and socio-demographic statistics in Scotland. The programme closed in March 2014 following a recommendation to plan for a census in 2021. Information relating to the planning for the 2021 Census as well as background information on the Beyond 2011 programme can be found in the Census section of this website.
