The National Bureau of Statistics has decided to conduct two rounds of Fixed Sample Population Follow-up Surveys nationwide in 2025. The survey results will be used to strengthen population change statistics and support high-quality population development.
The standard reference times for the two surveys are midnight on June 1 and midnight on November 1. Between June 1 and June 25, and November 16 and December 5, survey enumerators will visit households to conduct the survey.
When our enumerators arrive at your home, we kindly ask for your cooperation. In accordance with the Statistics Law of the People’s Republic of China, please provide truthful, accurate, complete, and timely responses to the survey. You are requested to report information about the follow-up subjects and related individuals truthfully based on the enumerator’s inquiries.
Your responses will be kept strictly confidential in accordance with the Statistics Law and will not be disclosed or shared with unauthorized parties.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the enumerator’s visit, which may take up your rest time. We express our heartfelt gratitude for your understanding and support.
Wishing you and your family happiness and prosperity!
