RPHC4 Thematic Report: Measurement and Mapping of Non-Monetary Poverty

This report measures and maps non-monetary poverty in Rwanda using data from the Fourth Rwanda Population and Housing Census (RPHC4) conducted on 15 August 2012 and counting a total population of 10,515,973.

At national level, 1,050,135 people are found to be severely poor and 2,818,321 moderately poor, so the total number of poor people is 3,868,456. Within the population with sufficient available data this represents 37%.

RPHC4 Thematic Report: Characteristics of Households and Housing

This report focuses on two interlinked topics. On the one hand, it looks at households’ characteristics and, on the other hand, at the characteristics of the households they live in. The report is organised into 10 main chapters, the first two of which provide the reader with an overview of the Census process and the context leading up to the analysis of the Census data and the production of the report. Chapters 3 through 6 review the characteristics of Rwandan households and chapters 7 through 10 review the characteristics of households.

RPHC4 Thematic Report: Population Size, Structure and Distribution

RPHC4 Thematic Report: Migration and Spatial Mobility

RPHC4 Thematic Report: Mortality

The objective of the present analysis was to analyse the level, trends and pattern of: (i) mortality among the general population; (ii) early childhood mortality; (iii) adult mortality; and (iv) mortality among the elderly. The main findings is that mortality remains generally high in Rwanda but has decreased substantially over time, especially among children aged 0.
 

RPHC4 Thematic Report: Marital status and Nuptiality

The analysis of marital status and nuptiality is important in helping us to understand the dynamics of a society and how it changes over time. Marriage is an important factor in regard to fertility, especially in Rwanda where thelarge majority of children are born in wedlock.

The results of the Fourth Rwanda Population and Housing Census (RPHC4) show that nearly half of the population aged 12 and above is married. However, between 1978 and 2012 the percentage of married people has decreased.
