This information can be used to develop policies that address the needs of the population. For example, census data can be used to determine the need for new schools, hospitals, and other public services.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Resource allocation:<\/strong> Census data can be used to allocate resources more effectively by identifying areas with the greatest need. For example, census data can be used to determine which areas have the highest poverty rates and the lowest levels of educational attainment. This information can be used to target resources to these areas in order to improve the lives of the people who live there.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Welfare schemes targeting:<\/strong> Census data can be used to target welfare schemes more effectively by identifying the people who are most in need of assistance. For example, census data can be used to determine which families have the lowest incomes and the highest levels of child poverty.
