Mnemonic Change: China subnational - Population by age - Partial
Wednesday, 23 May 2018 23:37 ET
By Jacky Cheung
Summary
May 2018 -- For sample survey population by age for China reported in the Statistical Yearbook, we have harmonized concept codes (52 of 148 annual series impacted).
Detail

For consistency between the national and subnational "sample population by age" datasets, we have renamed the former, according to this rule (old » new):

  • VSQSMPOP?UA » VSQPOPS?UA

We applied the rule to:

  • 21 national series (geo code ICHN)
  • 31 provinces (geo code pattern ICHN_^^)

The series reside in the historical catalog (China » Demographics » Population » Annual by age) and include, for example, the following. A full list of concept codes is attached.

  • VSQPOPSTUA.ICHN    = Vital statistics: Sample population - All ages, (#)
  • VSQPOPS0004UA.ICHN = Ages 0 to 4, (#)

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.

Please be aware that

The "sample survey population" dataset starts at 1995, is reported by five-year age bracket and broad age brackets, and has unitary scale (#). There is a separate population dataset from 1982, by broad age bracket, at 10 thousand scale (10 Ths. #).
