Censuses in the Dutch East Indies were censuses in the Dutch East Indies colony of the Netherlands. The last census was conducted in 1930.
History
[edit]Sebastiaan Cornelis Nederburgh, the former Commissioner-General of the Dutch Cape Colony, organized the first formal census of Java in 1795.[1] Between 1880 and 1905, the Dutch East Indies conducted partial population counts every five years, with most of the data being limited to Java.[2] This was later followed by full censuses in 1920 and 1930. A third full census was planned for 1940 but was cancelled because of Japanese occupation of the Indies during World War II.[1]
