一、《中国社会统计年鉴-2009》是一部较为全面反映我国社会发展相关领域情况的资料性年刊。全书以部门的社会统计资料为基础,主要包括:教育、文化、体育、卫生、社会保障、社会秩序与安全和社会活动参与等几个部分。 二、由于有关部门统计基础和现有资料情况各异,其资料在全书中所占篇幅各有不同,部门资料的历史年份也未统一,但资料基本上可以反映部门统计的不同特点。 三、书中以附录的形式收录了反映部门事业发展的统计公报和重大调查成果的报告,是对社会统计数据资料的必要完善与补充。书后附有主要统计指标解释。 四、本书的资料分别来自于:教育部、文化部、广电总局、新闻出版总署、档案局、体育总局、卫生部、民政部、公安部、最高人民检察院、最高人民法院、司法部、人力资源和社会保障部、中央组织部、中央统战部、全国人大、全国政协、总工会、团中央、全国妇联和全国残联等部门。 五、资料中的 “空格”表示该项统计指标数据不详或无该项数据;“#”表示其中的主要项。 六、在本书的编辑过程中,得到有关部门的大力支持,在此谨致深深的谢意。由于社会统计年鉴涉及的范围广、工作量大,在资料的整理和编排方面难免存在不足甚至疏误,敬请读者指正。 PREFACE I. II. The Yearbook could reflect basic characteristics of statistics from different departments, although information from each department contained in this yearbook is different, and so is the length of time series of data, due to varying statistical statuses of each department. III. The Yearbook also includes, in the form of annex, some statistical communiqués and important survey reports reflecting the development of related departments. This is a necessary supplement to social statistical data. In addition, explanatory notes on main statistical indicators are provided at the end of the Yearbook. IV. Data and materials contained in the Yearbook are sourced from the following departments: Ministry of Education, Ministry of Culture, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, General Administration of Press and Publication, the State Archives Administration, General Administration of Sports, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Public Security, Supreme People’s Procuratorate, Supreme People’s Court, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, the United Front Work Department of CPC Central Committee, the National People’s Congress, National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, All-China Federation of Trade Unions, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, All-China Women's Federation, China Disabled Persons’ Federation, etc. V.

Our deep appreciation goes to many departments which provided supports in compiling this Yearbook. It is inevitable that there might be some mistakes in the book because of wide coverage and large workload involved in collecting and compiling social statistics. Suggestions from readers are welcome so as to improve the quality of this publication in the future.
