The household registration data is the basis of the census and survey. For the residence indicators are designed base on the household registration
The birth and mortality data from the NHFPC can promote the register of the birth and mortality in the census and survey.
The composition of population can be checked and estimated by the education data, especially the birth data
The marriage and divorce data from the Ministry of Civil Affairs is the main resource of annual marriages and divorces
The cause of death data from the NHFPC is the main resource of the cause of death

16. The way next
The standard of rural and urban: NBS have a strict definition for rural and urban. But haven’t applied in other agencies. If the standard can applied in all the civil registration system, the definition of rural and urban will be unified.

17. The Way Next
Some of the civil registration system hasn’t achieved the national network, and most database can’t be shared to other agencies. For that, a comprehensive database based on unique identity card number is projected, in which all civil registrations are included and the data will update on time.
