Mortality analysis is an important part of the demographic analysis of census data. Using the tabulated census data released by census authority this paper examines the quality of census data calculates the mortality indicators of the 2000 population census and analyses the levels and patterns of reported mortality in the last decade in China. The paper finds no obvious age preference and age heaping. However underreporting in age and death counts is found to be serious especially among young children and young adults resulting in a lower reported mortality than the actual figure. Due to the more hazardous occupations of male migrant labourers in urban areas females have experienced a more rapid decline in mortality especially among young adults in urban areas. However excess female infant mortality is increasing especially in rural areas. The direction of further thorough analysis of mortality data from the 2000 census is also discussed. (authors)
