The 2008 North Korean census (2008년 조선민주주의인민공화국 인구일제조사) was the second North Korea national census. The reference day used for the census was October 1, 2008. This census conducted by the Central Bureau of Statistics from 1 to 15 October 2008 throughout the DPRK. The census was taken by house-to-house interviews by enumerators using a census questionnaire. Roughly 35,000 enumerators were trained to help with the census.^[1] The population of North Korea was counted as 24,052,231, a 13.38% increase from the 1993 census.

The results of the census are thought of as plausible by foreign observers.^[2]

The census was widely advertised in propaganda. This resulted in a detailed survey.^[3]

The 2008 census is the latest census of North Korea. The next census was scheduled for 2018,^[4] but was cancelled after South Korea had stopped funding the project for fear of violating sanctions. ^[5]

Unlike the 1993 census report, the 2008 report is considered credible by most scholars.^[3]

Introduction

North Korea completed its first census in 1993. In October 2006, a declaration was enacted to complete a second census in 2008.^[6] In order to test procedures, in October 2007, there was a pilot census completed across each of the provinces where roughly 50,000 households were counted.^[7] The actual census took place from October 1–15, 2008 using October 1, 2008 at 1:00 AM as a reference point.^[8]

There were several questions asked on the census broken into three modules:

The first module was titled Household and dwelling unit information. There were 14 questions in this module pertaining to the persons' housing unit. If the respondent lived in an institutional living quarter, then the rest of the section was skipped.^[9] All of the questions are listed below:

If the answer was no, the rest of this section was skipped. If the answer was yes, then five additional questions were asked.
