💨 Abstract

Iraq is conducting its first full national census in over three decades, starting on Wednesday. The aim is to gather demographic data for future planning and development. The census, which was delayed due to conflict and instability, will provide a comprehensive count of Iraq's population, estimated to exceed 43 million by 2024. The census was previously postponed due to concerns about politicization, particularly in contested areas like Kirkuk.
