Comparison of the number of questions asked over time isn’t quite as easy as it might sound – sometimes the same question may be posed as a single question with multiple tick boxes, at other times it could be framed as multiple distinct questions. In addition, there are routing points (are you over 16? If so, answer these questions…) that may or may not be counted as ‘a question’.
One of the advantages of online implementation of the census, however, is that it is possible to use previous responses to steer a person through the questionnaire, rather than asking them a routing question.
