Every decade to follow starts with a year ending with 1 and ends with a year ending in 0. The first day of this decade was January 1, 2001 and the last day will be December 31, 2010.
What year begins the second decade of the 21st century?
2011Because the common calendar starts with year 1, its firstfull decade is the years 1 to 10, the second decade from 11 to 20, and so on. So while the "2000s" comprises the years 2000 to 2009, the "201st decade" spans 2001 to 2010.

When does the decade end?
11:59:59.9 PM, December 31, 2009.=================================I don't agree.The first year was the year ' 1 ', not ' 0 '. That's why the end of the first Century (100 years)was the end of the year ' 100 ', and the end of the 20th Century was the end of ' 2000 '.By definition, a decade is 10 years. The first decade consisted of the years [ 1 - 10 ], and endedat the end of the year ' 10 '. Add 10 years to that for every subsequent decade, and eventuallyyou wind up in our current era. The ends of decades occur at 11:59:59.9 PM on December 31stof 1990, 2000, and 2010.If you accept the reasoning concerning the Century but not concerning the decade, then youwind up in an awkward position, with the year 2000 being in the old Century but the new decade.Wikipedia resolves this problem by only having "9" years in the first "decade".The new decade does not start until Jan. 1, 2011 , one second past midnight on Dec 31st, 2010.When you refer to the "60's" you are refering to the years 1960 to 1969, ten years... just not the same as the decade of the 60's.

Does 2010 or 2011 start the new decade?
In a technical sense, 2011 does start the new decade. It works this way because in the Julian Calendar, there is no year zero. In our calendar, it goes from year 1 B.C. to year 1 A.D. There is no year in between. Therefore, if you count by tens starting from year one, each new decade ends with the number one. For example, 1+10=11. Clearly if you repeat that over and over, you will end up with 2011 starting the new decade. Some people will say that decades start with a zero because, for example, the sixties were from 1960 to 1969. It is true that the sixties were from 1960 to 1969, but that doesn't agree with the fact that there was no year zero, so technically that is wrong. So when someone says "sixties" they are referring to the years 1960 through 1969. But when a decade really starts in the technical sense, the last number will always be one. 2000 was the first year. We ran thru all of 2000. That's year 1. 2001= year 2. 2002= year3 and so on. Therefore 2009 was the 10th year or the end of the decade.

What year is the forth year of a decade?
Although any period of 10 years is a decade, a convenient and frequently referenced interval is based on the tens digit of a calendar year, as in using "1960s" to represent the decade from 1960 to 1969.Because the common calendar starts with year 1, its firstfull decade is the years 1 to 10, the second decade from 11 to 20, and so on. So while the "2000s" comprises the years 2000 to 2009, the "201st decade" spans 2001 to 2010. For this reason, most people would consider the fourth year of the decade to be the one ending in 4.
