Population is enumerated with a well-defined point of time, and date is in terms of a well-defined reference period.
In most of the cases it is the undercount of a population resulting in the under count of special groups of population which is mobile, live in remote areas or city slums etc;etc. Content error refers to the errors resulting from faulty transcription of data during collection processing and tabulation of the data.

 What is Tabellverket
The population statistics in the Tabellverk should be produced for areas at the lowest level of the ecclesiastical administration, the parish (församling), and thereafter be aggregated into larger administrative units within the ecclesiastical as well as the civil hierarchy.
The ecclesiastical population registration can be described as a kind of continuous population census kept in Church Examination Registers for the parishioners, supplemented by separate registers for demographical events such as births, deaths, marriages and, later on, in- and out-migrations.
This definition of population was also printed in the instructions to the Population forms 1749-1772: "no one else than those who really were resident in the parish or at least spent most of the year in the parish" (free translation).

The system of apartheid was enforced by a series of laws passed in the 1950s: the Group Areas Act of 1950 assigned races to different residential and business sections in urban areas, and the Land Acts of 1954 and 1955 restricted nonwhite residence to specific areas.
The National Party’s ascension to power in 1940 was later followed by the passing of numerous Acts (including the "Population Registration Act, the Group Areas Act, the Suppression of Communism Act, the Immorality Act, etc.) which served to officially segregate different sectors of the population.
The passing of the Extension of University’s Act in 1959 proved to be a watershed event.

 Apartheid -- Africana
The implementation of the policy, later referred to as "separate development," was made possible by the Population Registration Act of 1950, which put all South Africans into three racial categories: Bantu (fl African), white, or Coloured (of mixed race).
The Bantu Authorities Act of 1951 and the Promotion of Bantu Self-Government Act of 1959 furthered these divisions between the races by creating ten African "homelands" administered by what were supposed to be reestablished "tribal" organizations.
The Bantu Homelands Citizenship Act of 1970 made every fl South African a citizen of one of the homelands, effectively excluding fls from South African politics.

By the 1920s, the proportion of women, the percentage of the population that was Singapore-born, and consequently the relative contribution of natural increase to the population, all were increasing.
In 1984 the government acted to give preferential school admission to children whose mothers were university graduates, while offering grants of S$10,000 to less educated women who agreed to be sterilized after the birth of their second child.
The population policies demonstrated the government's assumption that its citizens were responsive to monetary incentives and to administrative allocation of the government's medical, educational, and housing services.

Israel's control over the Palestinian population registration denies the Palestinian Authority any possibility of "naturalizing" Palestinians who were born or lived in the diaspora.
Had Israel intended to give up its control of the Gaza Strip population registration, it would have told the Palestinians that from now on it is their right and authority to deal with all those tens of thousands of requests in that region.
The Palestinians have no interest in severing the population registration in the Gaza Strip from the Israeli computer and control, as long as the population registration in the West Bank is an inseparable part of the Israeli registration.

Repeal of the Population Registration Act, Viljoen said, would mean that "new people born and new people coming into the country" will not be classified racially any longer.
But the existing population register would be maintained until a new constitution takes effect, and fls would not have the right to vote even at the local level until then, he said.
In addition to repeal of those acts, the other congressional conditions for lifting of sanctions include legalizing anti-apartheid groups and allowing free political activity, freeing all political prisoners, repealing the state of emergency and agreeing to enter negotiations with the fl majority in good faith and without preconditions.

 Apartheid, by Thomas W. Hazlett: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
The physical separation of the two European populations, as well as the small degree of interaction between the Afrikaners and the African tribes, allowed a brief and uneasy equilibrium in the midnineteenth century.
The Population Registration Act (1950) gave the state bureaucratic control over the racial identity of its citizens, and in combination with the Pass Laws, regulated internal travel.
Most evidently, reform is seen in the elimination of the apartheid laws: the Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act (scrapped in 1985), the abolition of the Pass Laws (1986), and the widespread elimination of "petty apartheid" (whereby separate facilities for racial groups was rigidly maintained).

 Apartheid
As was typically the case in the African colonies, the European settlers dominated the indigenous population through political control and the control of land and wealth.
In the years following the victory of the South African National Party in the general election of 1948, a flood of laws were enacted, formally instituting the dominance of white people over other races.
"The crime of apartheid" means inhumane acts of a character similar to those referred to in paragraph 1, committed in the context of an institutionalised regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime [1] (http://www.preventgenocide.org/law/icc/statute/part-a.htm#2)

And it was a lie that the South African government, between 1948 and 1994, was a legitimate democracy.
Through the Bantu Homelands Act, the white government declares that the lands reserved for fl Africans are independent nations.
In this way, the government strips millions of fls of their South African citizenship and forces them to become residents of their new "homelands." Blacks are now considered foreigners in white-controlled South Africa, and need passports to enter.

The Virginia Act of 1930, entitled Preservation of Racial Integrity, is typical of these.
The Population Registration Act is linked solidly with the Group Areas Act, which specifies certain areas for the various racial groups, and with the Mixed Marriages Act, which forbids marriage between persons of different racial groups.

By repealing the Population Registration Act and earlier this month the Group Areas Act -- that comes into effect June 30, the repeal does -- the South African Government has met four of the five requirements for the termination of sanctions under the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986.
Section 311(A)(4) of the act requires the government to repeal the Group Areas Act and Population Registration Act and institute "no other measures with the same purposes." We have reviewed the repeal legislation, and we have concluded that it does not institute such measures.
Q Richard, as I understand it, the Anti-Apartheid Act does not mean that South Africa has to fulfill all those requirements before the President acts, if he wishes to act.

The act required that people be classified primarily on the basis of their "community acceptability"; later amendments placed greater stress on "appearance" in order to deal with the practice of light-colored fls "passing" as whites.
The act also provided for the compilation of a population register for the whole country and for the issuing of identity cards.
The Group Areas Act (No. 41) of 1950 extended the provisions of the Natives Land Act (No. 27) of 1913, and later laws divided South Africa into separate areas for whites and fls (including coloureds), and gave the government the power to forcibly remove people from areas not designated for their particular racial group.
