Data in this chapter are prepared by the Department of Population and Employment Statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics. In Table 3.1, figures are from household registrations; and those for the years 2000 and 2010 are the census year estimates; the rest of the data covered in those tables are estimates from the annual national sample survey on population changes, and data for selected years have been revised according to the census results. In Table 3.2, data are estimates from the national sample survey on population changes. In Table 3.3, data are calculated by using the results of the 2000 and 2010 censuses.

The statistical surveys on population, which are conducted by Department of Population and Employment Statistics of the NBS, are as follows: The national population censuses are conducted in the years ending with 0; the 1 percent nationwide population sample surveys are conducted in the years ending with 5, and the sample surveys on population changes are conducted in the rest of the years which cover about 1 per thousand of the total population of the country. The sample survey on population change takes the whole nation as the population and each province, autonomous ethnic group, or municipality as subpopulations, and the stratified multistage systematic probability proportional to size (PPS) cluster sampling scheme is used.
