Abstract
Based on the data from China Statistical Yearbooks and China’s population censuses, this paper provides a systematic introduction to changes in the size of China’s population over the 70 years since the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1949. It analyzes population size and crude birth rate, crude death rate, natural increase rate and total fertility rate, all of which have an impact on population size in both the temporal and spatial dimensions. The paper divides China into sluggish Average Annual Growth Rate (AAGR) regions, recovering AAGR regions, and thriving AAGR regions. Challenges that may result from China’s demographic changes and strategies to address those challenges are discussed.
