  The Beijing News reported that my country's seventh national census registration was officially launched at 0:00 today and lasted until December 10th. After that, the census data processing and summary work will be carried out, and the main data bulletin will be released in 2021.

In this census, for the first time, census subjects can choose to fill in the report on their own, or they can be registered by enumerators.

  At present, 115,000 census takers in Beijing have carried out door-to-door registration work to register natural persons in the People’s Republic of China at the standard time of the census (zero o'clock on November 1, 2020) and Chinese citizens who have not settled abroad. Excludes foreigners who stay in the People's Republic of China for a short period of time.

  The investigation of the census was completed on October 31. The work of drawing the "Census District Map", census notification, compilation of the "Household Heads' Name List" and reporting of detailed data were completed, laying the foundation for formal registration.

  Census content added "citizen identification number"

  With the emergence of new phases and new technologies, the seventh national census has seen significant changes in census methods and methods.

  The main contents of the census registration include name, citizenship number, gender, age, ethnicity, education level, industry, occupation, migration, marriage, birth, death, housing situation, etc.

  The setting of such indicators is roughly the same as the sixth national census, with the addition of a "citizen ID number" as the census content.

Li Xiaochao, director of the Office of the Leading Group for the Seventh National Census of the State Council, stated that this is for the purpose of data comparison. The statistics department will compare and verify the administrative records of the public security, health and health departments to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the data. Sex.

  The design of the census form also fully reflects the real situation of the population of our country. "Short Form of the Seventh National Census", "Long Form of the Seventh National Census", "The Seventh National Census of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Residents and Foreigners" And the "Seventh National Census Death Population Questionnaire" four tables are set up according to different census objects and census content.

  Among them, the census short form is filled in by all households except Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan residents and foreigners, reflecting the basic status of the population.

10% of the above-mentioned households are selected to cooperate in filling out the long form of the census, which includes all the items of the short form and the economic activities, marriage and childbirth and housing of the population.

  In addition, the population of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Macao Special Administrative Region shall be calculated according to the data published by the Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Macao Special Administrative Region.

The population of Taiwan is calculated according to the data published by the relevant competent authorities in Taiwan.

  For the first time, self-reporting was also a major innovation in my country's census method.

Census subjects can choose between self-reporting and the enumerator's second visit. If they need to self-report, the household can explain it when the enumerator visits the house to find out. The enumerator is requested to provide the QR code and the code and password for self-filling. Complete independent reporting.

Households who choose to fill in the report should complete the information declaration before November 5.

  Census uses multiple technologies to protect citizens' privacy

  The census in the context of the new era bears a clear brand of the times, and the privacy of citizens is brought to the forefront.

The seventh national census adopted a number of new technologies, which were applied to the entire process of the census and became a protection barrier for citizens’ privacy.

  For example, the census adopted Internet cloud technology, cloud services and cloud application deployment, and conducted security management in accordance with the requirements of the national network security level protection three-level standard.

  In the process of information collection, electronic registration is fully adopted, and census takers use electronic collection devices (PAD or smart phones) to register information, or census subjects can fill in the information independently through the Internet.

Strict data encryption and desensitization technologies are adopted on the mobile and server sides of information collection.

  The entire process of data transmission is encrypted, and the data will be uploaded to the processing center in real time to ensure that citizens' personal information is not leaked through the Internet channel.

Safety management mechanism, safety protection system and safety audit mechanism are also applied.

  The authenticity of data has always been regarded as the lifeline of statistical work.

The new technology protects the privacy of citizens and improves the efficiency and quality of data collection.

At the same time, an accountability mechanism for pressure transmission has been established to control the quality of the census.

  The People's Census Office of the State Council has unified leadership and coordinated the work of quality control throughout the entire census.

The chief persons in charge of the local census agencies at all levels are generally responsible for the quality of the census data in their respective administrative regions.

Census offices at all levels must strictly implement the work requirements of each stage to ensure that the quality of the census work and data quality meet the standards.

  Doubt 1

  Do I need to fill in the household registration if I am not in the place of residence or in other places?

  According to the "Seventh National Population Census Program", the census adopts a comprehensive survey method, with household registration as a unit.

The census adopts the principle of registration according to their current residence, and everyone must register at their current residence.

  If the census object does not live in the place of household registration, the corresponding information shall be registered in the place of household registration.

The census agency will compare the weights to ensure that no households or people are missed.

Doubt 2

  The subjects of the census live in many places, where can they be registered for the census?

  The census object has two or more residences, and they usually live (for example, live in one place at work and live in another place on weekends). If the household registration is in one of the residences, that place will be regarded as the current residence. Registered as "the same person and household", and the other residences are registered as vacant rooms

  If the residence is not registered in these residences, the residence with a longer period of stay will be registered as its current residence, and the remaining residences will be registered as vacant rooms; if it is impossible to determine where the residence has been longer, 10 The residence where you live on the evening of the 31st will be registered as your current residence.

All housing items, such as the building area and number of rooms, are filled in according to the registered residence.

  Doubt 3

  The house has been rented out, how to report the housing situation?

  For all-outdoor households, the housing situation in the place of household registration should be registered in the place of household registration, and the housing situation in the current place of residence should be registered in the place of residence.

For house demolition at the domicile area, the type of residence registered in the domicile area should be "No Housing".

  For tenants of rented houses, if the landlord has not removed the household registration, the landlord and the tenant shall be registered as two households.

The landlord only fills in the area and number of rooms for the unleased part. If the house is all rented out, the landlord can choose "no housing"; the tenant fills in the area and number of rooms actually rented.

 Doubt 4

  How to fill in the employment status?

Do micro business and stock trading count as work?

  Employment refers to social activities that provide production or services for others in order to obtain income.

Using one's own funds to trade stocks, foreign exchange, etc., is not a job; using other people's funds to trade stocks, foreign exchange, and collecting commissions is a job.

  Simply renting a house to collect rent is not a job.

Internships for the purpose of obtaining income are work; for the purpose of study only, they have not received labor remuneration, and are not work; students in school do internships in units, and the internship purpose is to complete the school graduation requirements and obtain an internship experience certificate, which is not a work.

  In order to obtain income, it is a job to do a micro-business at home or use the Internet as a platform anchor, streaming video, e-sports game, etc.

  Doubt 5

  Is there a fee for the census?

How to identify true and false enumerators?

  Recently, fraud cases based on the seventh national census occurred in individual places.

In this regard, the Office of the Leading Group for the Seventh National Population Census in Beijing has given suggestions that when census takers enter their homes, the public can identify the census takers through four methods: uniform signs, uniform certificates, online verification, and telephone consultation.

  When the enumerator enters the household, the household should first verify the identity, and then ask the enumerator to enter the home for registration.

According to unified requirements, census takers and census instructors should show their work certificates issued by the census agencies of the people's governments at or above the county level when registering at the household level, and wear clothing with census logos.

  At the same time, the "Beijing Statistics" WeChat official account has opened the function of verifying enumerator information, and the public can check online to prevent fraud.

  In addition, Beijing has also established the Seventh National Census Call Center in Beijing. From October 11 to December 31, 2020, from 10 am to 12 am and 14 am to 20 am daily, through manual telephone The agent (010-83547146) answers, answers, and responds to public inquiries.

  It should be noted that the census does not charge any fees.

"Ping An Mianyang" official Weibo and "Capital Internet Police" WeChat public account issued prompts one after another, claiming to be census staff through phone calls, text messages, and online social tools to obtain property, property, account password information, and SMS verification codes on the grounds of the census All are scams!

  Doubt 6

  What are the considerations for including housing information in the scope of registration?

  The official WeChat of the National Bureau of Statistics recently responded that “the seventh census included ward round information for the first time in the scope of the census”, but it was not the “first time” that it was included.

In the past census process, housing situation registration was also involved many times.

For example, in the data of the sixth national census conducted in 2010, the statistics department implemented the registration of relevant housing information data.

For another example, in the earlier fifth national census in 2000, there were also housing-related data.

Therefore, "house rounds" are just a "routine action" to do a good job in the census, not new items, and no need to over-interpret.

  "Inspecting people" by housing is a commonly used method for census in countries around the world, because people live in houses.

The purpose of "house rounds" in the census is to check the population, and the focus of housing information registration is to understand the population's living conditions, living facilities, and rent levels, in order to better reflect the current livelihood issues.

  Six censuses provide information support for national economic development

  Since the founding of New China, my country has conducted six national censuses in 1953, 1964, 1982, 1990, 2000 and 2010.

  According to the "Regulations on the National Census" and related regulations, the census is conducted every 10 years, and the year with the ending "0" is the census year. This year is the seventh national census.

Looking back at the six censuses in history, each of them provided detailed population information support for the national economic development of our country at that time.

  In the first national census in 1953, just four years after the founding of New China, my country is embarking on large-scale economic construction. In order to cooperate with the elections of the people's congresses at all levels and formulate the first five-year plan for the national economy, detailed population data is urgently needed , Decided to hold the first census.

The first census showed that the total population of the country at 24:00 on June 30, 1953 was 601,938,035, of which 574,205,940 were directly surveyed, and 27,732,095 were indirectly surveyed by other methods.

The results of this census were recorded in detail in the "Communiqué on the Registration Results of the First National Census" issued by the National Bureau of Statistics on November 1, 1954.

  The most recent one is the sixth national census carried out in 2010. The total population of the country at zero o'clock on November 1, 2010 was 1339724852 people, which is an increase in ten years compared with the fifth national census in 2000. 73.9 million people, an increase of 5.84%, an average annual increase of 0.57%, which is 0.5 percentage points lower than the average annual growth rate of 1.07% from 1990 to 2000.

  From 1953 to 2020, as my country's economy has made great strides forward and development stages have changed, tremendous changes have taken place in my country's population growth rate and scale, labor supply and demand structure, and urban-rural structure.

Especially since the sixth national census in 2010, the internal driving force and external conditions of my country's population development have undergone significant changes.

Li Xiaochao, director of the Office of the Leading Group for the Seventh National Census of the State Council, called it an "important transitional change"-the growth inertia of the total population has weakened, the fluctuation of the working-age population has declined, and the degree of aging has continued to deepen.
