Many communities across the country kicked off door-to-door household visits in preparation for the upcoming China's seventh national population census which will begin on November 1 this year. About seven million staff will visit homes for the registration work.
The census will collect data including name, ID number, gender, marital details, education, profession and other information about citizens.
The country has also encouraged residents to use mobile terminals such as cell phones to declare personal and family information. Relevant declaration process has been publicized in communities so that residents can complete the declaration by themselves.
China conducts a national population census every 10 years. The last census in the world's most populous country found its population had increased to 1.37 billion.
