Population Without Double Counting
Population without double counting is an English translation of the French phrase ''Population sans doubles comptes''. In France, for the purposes of the census, the INSEE has defined several population indicators that allow people who live in more than one place to be counted in each place, to study and keep count of population movement. So each commune in France does not have only one figure for the population, but several; for example students may be counted both where they study and where they live when not studying. A parallel may be drawn to English laws that allow students to register and vote in local elections in more than one place. How it is measured The population figures of France depend on the definition of "French". INSEE, the French national statistics bureau has two definitions: * All of the ''65,585,857'' people (as of 1 January 2013) who reside in France, including 33,817,227 women and 31,768,630 men which is 235,676 more people than January 1, 2012.
