We are looking for investigators for the census in Reiwa 7 (2025)
Last updated on April 1, 2025.
With the deadline of October 1, 2025, the census will be conducted nationwide.
The census is the country's most important statistical survey, which is conducted once every five years for all people and households living in Japan.
The results of the survey will be used to plan various local measures, such as welfare measures, living environment improvement, and disaster countermeasures.
Since Izumi Ward requires about 750 national census personnel to conduct the survey, we are looking for a wide range of people who can be involved in the survey work with understanding and sincerity as "national census personnel."
What is a census officer?
Investigators who visit the target households to explain the survey and distribute, collect, and inspect questionnaires when conducting the census.
A briefing session will be held before the start of the survey to explain the details of the work, so even first-timers can conduct research activities with confidence.
We are also waiting for retired, self-employed, part-time, part-time, and students.
Application requirements
- In principle, those over 20 years old (as of September 1, 2025)
- Those who can work on the investigation work to the end with responsibility
- Those who can keep secrets about the contents learned during the survey
- Those who have nothing to do with the police or elections
- Persons who do not fall under gangs or other antisocial forces
※If you can conduct research activities in Izumi Ward, you can apply for those living outside the ward.

The following contents from 1 to 5 will be performed over a period of about two months from early September to late October.

Also, if necessary, visit the household that requested the entry again and collect the completed questionnaire. (early October)

About 78,000 yen in 2 survey areas (approximately 100 households)
