Abstract

Population census data has become more pervasive to lives which has demanded for increase in scope, completeness, accuracy and validity, and improve on their national value and international comparability. The accuracy of population projections has been attracting more attention, driven by concerns about the possible long-term effects of aging and other demographic trends. This paper therefore, attempt to improve on the manual way of managing census data by developing an automated census data management system. This system in addition, is capable of projecting population growth using exponential growth equation. The National Population Commission, Benin City was used as a case study.
