| Yes, theoretically everyone who is physically in Japan is included in it, except perhaps tourists. For some reason they didn't come to our building last time, so my (Japanese) husband and I weren't counted, but the two times before I received the forms and was definitely counted. |

You do realise that a surprisingly high no. of census collectors inJapan have no respect forthe privacyofthe people whose information they collect? This is especially true in rural areas.
The last time a census was conducted while I was in Japan, I refused pointblank to do it. The collector was a local shrew into invading others' privacy and she refused to let me give her my form in a sealed envelope.
In some other countries the collector must give you an envelope on request and you can mail your form back to the relevant address.
I told the shrew politely to stick it and said there was no way I would do it if she didn't respect my privacy. Nothing happened to me. |
