Unfortunately a census can ask a lot of questions. We have two types called short form and long form. The long form asa you can imagine asks all kinds of things which I think they need not know. This information is utilized in a variety of ways but the best of course is the release of the estimated persons in the country making this amount, doing what for money etc and so on. All this info does have its good and bad points for govt. It is useful as the govt can plan use the info to plan ahead (I wonder how many really do this). Private industry though does make use of the info, not your private stuff but the demographic info.
