Much has been made recently of the slowdown in population growth in
China. China’s population grew at its slowest rate in decades in the ten
years to 2020, according to the latest census data, which also showed
that births declined sharply last year. The nation’s once-in-a-decade
census, which was completed in December, showed its population increased
to 1.41bn in 2020 compared with 1.4bn a year earlier. The population
grew just 5.4% from 1.34bn in 2010 — the lowest rate of increase between
censuses since the People’s Republic of China began collecting data in
1953. Those over-65s now make up 13.5% of the population, compared with
8.9% in 2010 when the last census was completed
