China has always been the most populous country in the world, claiming to have 65.438+0.3 billion sons and daughters of China, which was counted in the sixth population census in 2065.438+00. Now 10 years have passed, what changes have taken place in China's basic information such as population structure, total population and population distribution? This is bound to require a new round of population census to find out the situation. At present, the seventh national census has been fully launched.

From June 65438+1October 1 1, in two months, more than100000 census takers will conduct a nationwide "carpet" population survey. Many people may have such questions. I don't have a perfect household registration system. Why not directly count the population through household registration? Instead, invest huge labor costs to conduct a census? The reasons can be summarized as follows.

First of all, there are two common problems with household registration. First, the residents are absent; Many people who have passed away, their families failed to take the initiative to cancel their accounts in time; Especially for retired people, some people with ulterior motives will hide the news of their death in order to get more pensions, and naturally they will not take the initiative to cancel the household registration of the deceased.

Second, people are not at home. In the years when family planning was regarded as a basic national policy and vigorously promoted, countless "black households" emerged. Most of them are caused by the situation of drag out an ignoble existence and super life. In order to avoid the fine, many families don't register their accounts for the extra-born children, which leads to the situation that people are there but the accounts don't exist. It can be seen that although China's household registration system is strict, it is not true to reflect the reality by directly counting the population through household registration.

And the update of household registration information is seriously lagging behind. Generally speaking, in the household registration book, except the basic information such as name, ID number and gender, most people's education, whether they are married or not, work and other information have changed greatly. It is difficult to objectively judge the basic situation of the population if statistics are made only by household registration.

Besides finding out the basic information of our population, what are the deeper reasons for the country to spend so much manpower and material resources on the census? Let's summarize it for everyone.

First of all, a census can more accurately grasp the basic situation of population changes in China. Future socio-economic development planning can not be separated from population information as data support.

Secondly, the census can accurately understand the increase and decrease of China's total population, population mobility, population structure changes, gender ratio and many other information, so as to analyze the basic situation of the future population, which is of great help to improve population policy and promote population structure optimization.

Compared with the previous six times, the way of the seventh national census has also undergone major changes. The census taker will come to the door at the wrong time and go door to door after work; Therefore, when enumerators come to investigate, they should fully cooperate, do not conceal or omit, and truthfully fill in real personal and family information.

If it is inconvenient to accept the door-to-door census, you can also scan the QR code through your mobile phone and fill in personal and family information on your own initiative. This not only avoids the inconvenience of "disturbing" the enumerator, but also reduces the workload for the enumerator.

What changes do you think have taken place in the population of China at this stage? We can discuss with each other.
