With the improvement of our society, more and more people are concerning about their living standard. But nowadays, children are a large consumption of a family. Therefore, some of them think it is not necessary to have so many children. Even some young people do not want a child. They prefer DINK, which means “double income no kid”.

Recently, China starts counting its large population. In the past decades, the population in China increased rapidly. As their leader Chairman Mao believed that the more people, the better China will be. So the population increased rapidly those years.

Census is held once every ten years. Census is that in national unity within the prescribed period of time, according to the uniform method, unified project, unified questionnaires and uniform standard time registered the population one by one and door-to-door. Census work includes to census data collection, data analysis, evaluation, editing, publishing and so on.

In recent years, great changes have taken place about the economic globalization and the world economic, and the global population is changed. In order to cope with the challenge and formulate the relevant policy, most countries have carried out census. Since 2005, there are more than 70 countries and regions haven done census. Besides, more than 150 countries and regions will carry out censuses.

There are several basic features for census. The first one is the Universality. Census register is to press the principles of region, where all the people need to attend the census register. The second one is Individual. We can count the population as a unit, or we can count them one by one. The third one is Standard nature. Census must take a specific time for the standard, national simultaneously investigation. No matter where the actual household is, the registration time is the standard time. The fourth one is Concentration. Census work must be in the centre of the centralized leadership, according to the national level census institutions to organize implementation of deployment.

Census in general is a kind of static investigation which cannot reflect the population change. Therefore, it should be periodically stipulated by the states and most of the worlds carry out a population census every five or ten years.

In our country, the census is carried out once every ten years. But how does the census proceed? The administrate staff will decide that how does each census department finish their respective census task. The census enumerators are responsible for conducting in-home visit work, from those who do not return the census form. The work of statisticians is to ensure that the census bureau mathematic statistics are correct.

As there will be a time-restriction of statistician, the speed is very important. As a citizen of our country, we should support the work of the census enumerators and cooperate with them as possible as we can. One of my friends is a statistician in the government. She purchased a fast counter on www.dinodirect.com then she can finish her work twice as fast as before. It will be much easier for our statistician to do this task.
