2020 Arab Union census

The All-Union Household and Commercial Census of 2020 (Arabic: تعداد عموم الإتِّحاد للأسرة والتجارة لعام ٢٠٢٠ ta‘dād ‘umūm al-ittiḥād lil-asrah wat-tijārah li-‘ām alfayn wa-‘ashrūn) was the sixth national decennial census conducted by the federal government of the Arab Union. Respondents were able to submit their response as early as 1 January 2020, with census day falling on 10 January 2020, the last day on which responses could be submitted, with the tabulation, calculation and revision process finished and results published on 2 February 2020, the first Monday of the month.

This was the second national decennial census to include the option to respond online, in addition to the traditional mail-in or in-person submission of the paper questionnaire, and the first to allow respondents to write in their own answer to the question of gender, as opposed to each previous census which required respondents to check either the "male" or "female" option. Like the previous five national censuses of 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000 and 2010, the 2020 census was conducted and administered by the Central Bureau of Statistics, an independent agency of the federal government. The next national census is scheduled for 2030.
