Abstract There is considerable demand for official statistics on temporary populations to supplement statistics on resident and working populations. Progress has been slow, with temporary population statistics not part of the standard suite of measures produced by national statistical offices. This article adopts the framework for official statistics proposed by Raymer and colleagues as a guide to aspects relating to society, concepts, data, processing, outputs and validation. The article proposes a conceptual framework linking temporary population mobility, defined as a move more than one night in duration that does not entail a change in usual residence, and temporary populations. Using Australia as an example, we discuss various dimensions of temporary mobility that complicate its measurement. We then report the outcomes of a survey of user needs for temporary population statistics along with a desktop review of OECD countries to identify the best formulation of temporary population statistics, and current international practice respectively. The article concludes by proposing two related concepts for temporary populations: population present and person-time, which overcome a number of issues currently impeding progress in this area and discuss their potential implementation.

官方临时人口统计框架

摘要对临时人口的官方统计数据有很大的需求，以补充常住人口和在职人口的统计数据。进展缓慢，临时人口统计不是国家统计局制定的标准措施的一部分。本文采用了雷默及其同事提出的官方统计框架，作为有关社会，概念，数据，处理，输出和确认的各个方面的指南。文章提出了一个概念框架，将临时人口流动性与临时人口流动联系在一起，临时流动性定义为持续时间不超过一晚且无需改变常住地。以澳大利亚为例，我们讨论了临时流动性的各个方面，这些方面使它的测量复杂化。然后，我们报告对临时人口统计数据的用户需求调查的结果，以及对经合组织国家进行的桌面审查，以分别确定最佳的临时人口统计数据表述和当前的国际惯例。本文最后提出了两个有关临时人口的概念：目前的人口和人的时间，这些概念克服了目前阻碍该领域进步的许多问题，并讨论了其潜在的实现方式。
