Head of Department of Demography Explanation: current birth certificates actually state Head of Population and Civil Registration - but I believe the correct translation is Head of Department of Demography and Civil Registry |

Reference: Context matters: Residency versus Demography versus Population Reference information: None of the following options: * "Department of Residency" * "Department of Demography" * "Department of Population" (or similar) are common for English-language government agencies. POPULATION The U.N. has a "Population Division" focused on population statistics, and (control/management) strategies, policies & programmes. http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/commission/... The U.S.A. has an "Office of Population Affairs" that focuses mainly on reproductive planning and reproductive health. https://www.hhs.gov/opa/about-opa/mission/index.html DEMOGRAPHY "Department of Demography" seems to be reasonably common in universities, and presumably those departments focus on demographics and sociology/anthropology etc. There are also some sections of statistics agencies (i.e. the sort of agencies that conduct censuses) with this as a name translated into English. http://www.insse.ro/cms/sites/default/files/field/publicatii... http://worldcat.org/identities/lccn-n98048195/ http://www.kinderrathaus.de/demographie-english/ RESIDENCY The best I could find using "residency" was: The U.A.E. has a "Dubai Naturalization and Residency Department". However, this is focused on visas and residency permits. http://www.dubaicity.com/naturalization-residency-department... DINAS KEPENDUDUKAN The Mission of a Dinas Kependudukan dan Catatan Sipil is: 1. Mewujudkan Data Basis dan Informasi Kependudukan yang lengkap, akurat serta memenuhi kepentingan Publik dan Pembangunan. [disduk] 2. Mewujudkan tertib administrasi kependudukan. [disduk] 3. Mewujudkan pelayanan prima dibidang registrasi penduduk dan pencatatan sipil. [capil] https://disdukcapil.padangpariamankab.go.id/index.php/2016-0... Based on the above analysis, "Residency" seems least fitting of the three options. "Demography" or "Population" could be used, although neither is common in English-language government department/agency titles. At this moment I am more inclined to slightly favour "Population". |
