Population prediction in China by 2025: The end of 2024 will see the Chinese population rise to 1.408 billion people in China. Decreases the country’s population by 1.3 million from one year to another. One thing that is disturbing Chinese authorities is that the country’s population continues to grow, though the miracle is diminishing.
China’s Decline Population:
China’s Decline in Population has been observed for the third year in consecutive terms. The country has passed with a population of 1.408 billion citizens. A population decrease amounting to 1.3 million persons compared to the previous year has happened over this year. Closed measurement of the requirement for population control should be feared by Jinping’s government. The continuously falling birth rates are a known cause of the constant decline in the Chinese population. Indeed, several years ago, China started the so-called one-child policy to reduce its increasing population. To prove that, a study was published in the People Daily, which reports that the elderly people in the country are outnumbering individuals of working age, effectively translating to a declining birth rate.

These are the major reasons for the decreasing population in China :
Not only such popular reasons have appeared but the fertility rate in China is going down. The youth get married too late because they worry about the future, secure jobs, and skyrocketing living costs. Even when they get married, there is no baby boom among them. But, on the other hand, people, today, life has increased. Another problem is the slow increase in the birth rate figures by the government. India is now surpassing China as the most populous country in the world while last year, its population was recorded at 142.86 crores. The population of China will, as it has been for several years already, remain at 140 crores and will join countries like Japan and some countries of Eastern Europe.
The child policy was implemented when the population increased :
It is one of the most populous countries in the world for a long time past. After the Communist Party took power here in 1949, there was a trend toward large families. In three decades from 1949, the country’s population doubled in size. The situation was such that the country had a larger population than its food capacity. There is a large family that has developed, which is surpassed by an important policy of China related to one child. There was a need for them to apply to the government if they wanted children. If this permission is not sought, this creates an opportunity for the government to penalize forced abortions. Besides, the child was never given an identification number.
104 men per 100 women :
According to the government report, the sex ratio in China is unbalanced. There are 104 men per 100 women. At the same time, the elderly population is also increasing in China. About a fifth of the country’s population is 60 years or older. The total population of this category is 310 million i.e. 22 percent of the total population. This population is expected to reach 30 percent by 2035.
Incentive schemes also could not make any impact :
The Chinese government is also worried about the declining population. This is the reason why in May 2021, the Chinese government announced the implementation of a three-child policy to increase the population. The Chinese government also implemented incentive schemes for second and third births in many of its provinces to increase the birth rate so that people would have more children. However, these incentive schemes have not made much difference. At the same time, more than 10 million people have moved to cities in China. This brought the urbanization rate to 67%, almost one percentage point higher than the previous year.
