  3. Population Data Collection Population data collection by National bureau of Statistics (NBS) of China: • population census • inter-census survey • annual population survey

  4. Population Data Collection • Traditional household visit remained the main method of enumeration in census. • Pilot surveys on self-enumeration before 2010 Census which indicated a low response rate, even in urban area. • In recent years, the PDA has been used in data collection in population surveys. And in the next census, we are going to try more data collection methods such as internet option.

  5. Population Data Collection Household items: • type of household (family, collective) • number of persons • births and deaths during last 12 months • floor space of housing • number of rooms etc.

  16. Different in Population Count • The population census or surveys count the de facto population. • The population registration count the population by the place of permanent household registration. The two different data source not only provide different population distributions (due to internal migration), but also provide total population count.

  17. Population Distribution 2016 year-end population (10,000 persons)

  18. Different in Births Statistics • The NBS estimate the births every year according to the data derive from population sample survey, and we also use the births registration as a reference.

  20. For the Government • Civil registration and vital statistics played an important role in the government's formulation of population policies and population planning in China.

  21. For the ID Card Management System • When a baby was born, the parents should register at the police station to obtain an unique 18-digit ID number, which will be accompanied by her/his whole lifetime.

  22.

  24. IV. Issues and Efforts

  25. Issues • Civil registration relies on the individuals can not guarantee the data timelines. • With the increasing awareness of privacy, the household interview enumeration becomes harder and harder in population census and survey. • The databases of CRVS in different departments haven’t been connected yet. • Coordination between departments still has some difficulties

  26. Efforts • Collaboration between departments in the verification and assessment of population data has been ongoing. • In the next census, we plan to add the ID number to the questionnaire and look forward to establishing a connection with the population census database and registration database.
