DATA PROCESSING AND ARCHIVING\nData entry of the survey questionnaires was done by the STATEC staff from July 2010 onwards, using the BLAISE software tool for managing survey forms. Data entry involved manual inputting of data. In autumn 2010, the administrative sources obtained through the SER were combined with the survey data using an official common identifier form a combined micro data set. Microdata validation was performed at STATEC to check the accuracy and plausibility of both the survey and the administrative data. Item nonresponse was addressed using cold-deck imputation, hot deck imputation and, to a lesser extent, ratio imputation as well as deductive imputation.\n\nb. CENSUS DATA QUALITY\nThe unit nonresponse rate was 2.7 percent.
