China's seventh national population census will begin on Nov 1 this year with about 7 million staff to visit homes for registration work, an official said Sunday.
国家发展改革委副主任宁吉喆9月20日表示，约700万普查人员将于今年11月1日起走入千家万户，开启第七次全国人口普查登记工作。
A good census can give a full picture of the population’s size, structure and distribution, and the trend of demographic change, providing support for mapping national development strategies, said Ning Jizhe, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission.
宁吉喆称，开展好人口普查，有助于全面摸清我国人口总量、结构和分布等状况，准确把握人口变化趋势性特征，为制定国家发展战略提供重要支撑。
