Starting Monday, millions

million households to try to get
an accurate count of the
population over a 10-day period.
The sixth census will use about 6. 5 million census takers, each dressed in a uniform and bearing a certificate, asking everyone living and working on the mainland information about their personal lives. Anyone born before Monday gets included, and anyone born after Monday gets left out until the next one, in 2020, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). About 90 percent of the people will be asked to fill in an 18-item form, covering their name, sex, ethnic group, household registration(登记,注册), and education; the other 10 percent, chosen randomly, will be asked to fill in a longer 45-question form.
For foreigners, who are being included in China’s census for the first time, special preparations have been made. Yang Shu, deputy director of the census office of Maizidian, a multinational community in Beijing’s Chaoyang district, said their office has recruited(招聘) volunteers with bilingual or multilingual skills to help with the census. They have also translated the questionnaire into at least five languages, including the usual English, French and German.
