China’s Population Decline Accelerated Last Year

Live Mint  

China’s population decline accelerated last year, worsening a demographic gloom that has taken on increasing urgency for Beijing. China ended 2023 with 1.410 billion people, the National Bureau of Statistics said Wednesday, down from 1.412 billion in 2022, when it hit a historic turning point: the first year the population shrank since starvation years in the early 1960s. Another possible factor was China’s sudden abandonment of Covid-restrictions at the end of 2022, which might have led to a sharp rise in deaths early last year. China last year ceded its centuries-old position as the world’s most populous country to India and is unlikely to be able to reverse the trend of declining births.
