Report: Population of China Shrinks to 480 Million by 2100

A report published on “National Interest” warns that China will face the moribund consequences of the collapse of the population that is the most dramatic in the history of the country and the world.

Authors of the report say that this collapse in the Chinese neither related to wars nor diseases.

The report predicts that the Chinese population will diminish by more than  50% by 2100, meanwhile the Population of the United States of America  (USA) will outnumber the Chinese people that year.

Nowadays the Chinese people boast that they live in the most populous country in the world and they think the population will grow incessantly.

But this pride may break significantly due to the reduction in fertility of both men and women in China along with other technical factors over the years to come.

According to statics prepared by the Central government in China, the population was 1.4 billion in March 2019 compared to 1.39 billion in the same month of the previous year.

It is expected that the Chinese authorities are going to reveal a new increase in population in 2020 next month.

However, statics indicate that the number of new births in China declined in 2019.

According to the “Huko” system that registers about 80% of the new births in China, the indicator slid by 19.4% in 2020.

The report warns that if the ratio of fertility continues within 1.2 child/family, the population of China will decrease to 480 million by the end of the 21st century.

But if the ratio of fertility remains without change until 2100, the population of China will shrink to 400 million people, in other words, less than the population of the USA then.

The United Nations (UN) forecasts that the population of the USA will grow to 433.9 million by 2100.

It is worth noting that the European countries and Japan face dire trends of the population as the fertility of men and men declines for economic and social factors and the people over sixty-five increase unstoppably.
