Abstract

Demographic research, has increasingly become field-based involving primary data collection and the nature of inquiry and its scope has widened a great deal in recent years. The ethical considerations that stem in order to conduct such enquires begin from asking ourselves the very first question: Is such an enquiry doable or does it violate the basic privacy of human beings? Also, would the information enhance our understanding of the issue, which would have larger implications for policy or programme?
