System of national accounts

[edit]

Gives an overview of theeconomyand describes the phenomena of economic life: production, consumption and wealth accumulation, providing a comprehensive and simplified representation of these data. The System of National Accounts IBGE follows the most recentUNrecommendations expressed in the Handbook of National Accounts (System of National Accounts1993,SNA), including the calculation ofGross Domestic Product(GDP) and theInput-output matrix.

Quarterly national accounts

[edit]

Displays the current value and volume indices (1991 = 100) every quarter for theGross Domestic Productat market prices, taxes on products, value added at basic prices, personal consumption, government consumption, Gross fixed capital formation, changes in inventories, exports and imports of goods and services. Two series of index numbers are calculated: the basis of the previous year and chained with reference to 1990 (1990 = 100). The series is seasonally adjusted usingX-12-ARIMA,enabling calculation of the rates of change over the previous quarter.

The IBGE survey was started in 1988 and restructured after 1998, when their results were integrated into the current System of National Accounts. The annual weights are derived from this new system accounts.

Censuses

[edit]

Population census

[edit]

The best known census is thepopulation census(Brazilian Portuguese:censo demográfico). First conducted in its modern formin 1872,it is now conducted every ten years, usually in years ending in zero. No census took place in 1880, 1910 or1930.[11]

The census is conducted solely by the IBGE, as enshrined in law. Comprehensivedemographicdata is collected on the population (including age, income, sex, etc.), as well as housing stock.[12]Unlike approaches taken in other countries (e.g., theUnited States), the questionnaire asks respondents to self-identify byskin color,[11]phrasing the question as "Color or Race".[13]

The most recent census was conducted in 2010; the 2020 census was delayed to 2022 due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.[14]

Population counts

[edit]

A simpler population count(contagem de população)is theoretically made in the interval between two censuses, starting in 1996. These aim to update the data on the number of inhabitants, of great importance to Brazil's cities, because annual grants from the Municipalities Participation Fund are determined mainly by population. The IBGE is responsible for estimating populations annually for every municipality in the country, and these population counts enhance the quality of estimates.[15]

The first population count was conducted in 1996, not only to update population data, but also to get municipality level data after the emergence and redefinition of new municipalities after the census of 1991. The most recent count was done in 2007, delayed from 2005 because of budgetary concerns,[15]and the 2016 count was completely cancelled for similar reasons.[16]

Agricultural census

[edit]

The agricultural census collects information on agricultural establishments, forests and/or aquaculture of all municipalities of the country. The goal of this research is to update previous census data and to provide information about economic, social, and environmental farming. Since 1996, the census has occurred roughly every 10 years.[17]

The 1996 agricultural census was conducted by IBGE from August 1995 to July 1996, in reference toBrazil's crop harvests.The following agricultural census was undertaken in 2007, and surveyed agricultural activity for the 2006calendar year.The 2017 agricultural census returned to a survey period based on crop harvests, and was conducted from October 2016 to September 2017, with results released in 2018.[17][18]
