自2010年第六次全国人口普查以来,我国人口发展的内在动力和外部条件发生了显著改变。
Since the sixth national census in 2010, there have been noticeable transformations in the domestic dynamics and foreign factors on our country’s populace progression.
人口总规模增长减缓,劳动年龄人口波动下降,老龄化程度不断加深。 

The growth in population size has slowed, the overall age of the workforce has been fluctuating with a downward trend, and the magnitude of aging continues to worsen.

人口普查，是摸清我国人口家底的重要手段。
National census is an essential means to delve into the underlying compositions of our country.
我国已进行过六次人口普查，
We have already conducted six censuses nationally.
世界各国也都定期开展人口普查。

当前，中国特色社会主义进入新时代，
Presently, the unique socialist country—China—has entered into a new era.

It’s an opportune time to conduct a census and comprehensively probe into the latest status of the demographic number, makeup, distribution, etc. of our country.

The data form the foundation to formulate and perfect the policies and practices for income, spending, education, employment, old-age security, health, social welfare, etc. in the future.
也为教育和医疗机构布局、儿童和老年人服务设施建设、工商业服务网点分布、城乡道路建设等提供决策依据。
They also provide the bases on which to decide on arranging education/medical institutions, building children/seniors facilities, locating commercial service depots, constructing metro/rural roads, etc.
