Motivation: Our national source, the National Bureau of Statistics of the People's Republic of China (NBS), reports subnational population under three different programs with different combinations of properties:
- Census, decennial, total population, from 2000
- Census, decennial, percent share of population by broad age brackets, from 2000
- China City Statistical Yearbook, annual, total registered population, from 1994
Response: For international consistency, Moody's Analytics estimates population, by standardized broad age brackets (total, ages 0 to 14, 15 to 64, 65 and older), quarterly, for 21 leading prefecture-level and sub-provincial cities.
Properties
- Measurements: Thousands of persons (Ths. #)
- Adjustment: Seasonally adjusted (SA)
- Geo coverage:
- 21 select second-level areas
Six prefecture-level cities, 15 sub-provincial cities See attached list
- Start date:
- All-ages total: 1994Q4
- Broad age brackets: 2000Q4
The series reside in the historical catalog (China » Demographics » Population » Moody's Analytics Estimated) and include, for example:
- RPOPQ.ICHN_CHA = Population - All ages, (Ths. #, SA) - for Changchun City
- RPOP0014Q.ICHN_GUA = Ages 0-14 - for Guangzhou City
- RPOP1564Q.ICHN_NAN = Ages 15-64 - for Nanjing
- RPOP65GQ.ICHN_WUX = Ages 65 and older - for Wuxi City
Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
Method: Please refer to the background documentation in Mnemonic 411.
