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.

When does the new decade start?
According to the calendar, because there is no "0" year, the new decade just started January 1, 2011. Common use of the word decade, because we refer to the decade of the 80's or 90's, the new decade starts on January 1 of the decade that is being referred to. This is because it is illogical to say the decade of the 80's doesn't include 1980 but does include 1990. So, if you like the common use of the word decade, instead of the calendar use, the new decade will start on January 1, 2020.

Are you moving into a new decade this new year 2009 into 2010?
In terms of the naughties, then 2010 starts a new decade. However, in terms of the 21st century, its second decade does not start until 2011. The tendency of people to define decades as ones with the same second last digit is out of synch with the proper way to count decades, and is one of the things that leads to confusion, like people mistakenly thinking that the 20th century and 2nd millennium ended at the end of 1999, when in fact they both ended at the end of 2000. Only the 1990s ended at the end of 1999. Properly, decades go from 1 to 10, not 0 to 9.
