PREFACE
The Population Census in Japan has been conducted almost every five years since 1920,
the 2010 Population Census being the nineteenth. The statistics obtained through the
Population Census to reveal the state of Japan’s population and households.
This book presents major findings on the structure and distribution of the population
and households of Japan and their changes observed through the results of the 2010
Population Census.
I hope that the results of the 2010 Population Census will be utilized as basic data in
many fields of government policymaking including social welfare, employment, and
prevention of disasters etc., which are essential factors for the prosperous society in the
21st century.
On this occasion, I wish to express my deep appreciation to all of those who responded
to the census.
