In the 1950’s Chairman Mao Zedong encouraged families to have as many children as possible, and by 1979 China’s population had nearly doubled in the span of 30 years to reach about 970 million.
Meanwhile, despite rapid growth in the 90’s and 2000’s, China’s working age population is getting smaller while the proportion of its population aged 65 or over is growing, expected to reach 20% by 2030.
Human capital accounts for between 11 to 15% of China’s growth. Factor accumulation (capital and labour) thus accounts for about 60 to 70% of GDP growth. Summarizing the evidence, capital accumulation accounted for 3.2 percentage points of the 7.3% growth in output per worker from 1979-2004 with TFP accounting for 3.6 percentage points.

China, officially the People's Republic of China, is the largest country in the world today.In January 2013, the Chinese Government released data confirming that the population of China was an impressive 1,354,040,000, although this does not include Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. As of September 2013, that number had grown even further to 1,360,720,000.

Fertility in China. A Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of 2.1 represents the Replacement-Level Fertility: the average number of children per woman needed for each generation to exactly replace itself without needing international immigration.A value below 2.1 will cause the native population to decline
According to newest data provided by the National Bureau of Statistics of China in January 2022, the Chinese population amounted to around 1.41 billion people in 2021.
Demographic development in China After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the Chinese population developed rapidly over the following decades.
This is a growth by 110.2 percent in 60 years. The highest increase in China was recorded in 1966 with 2.83%. The biggest decrease in 1961 with -1.01%. In the same period, the total population of all countries worldwide increased by 155.5 percent.
510 million people were estimated, but 580 million were recorded in this census. Mao Tse-tung, then head of government and chairman of the Communist Party, initially regarded a high population ...
Over the past 10 years, the number of average deaths per year was 9,748,797 in China. The number of births was 16,312,044 annually.
At the same time, the problems associated with a high population were also seen: In urban areas, unemployment rose because there were not enough jobs available.
It was not until October 2015 that the laws, which had been loosened more and more until then, were ended and the limit abolished. In 2016, a two-child policy was introduced, which is now to be increasingly pursued.
These were intensified in the following decades, and from 1973 onward the "one-child policy" was introduced, according to which each Chinese family was allowed to have only one child.
Only after 2005 were many of the rules relaxed, so that the birth rate (number of children per woman) soon reached 1.5.
Human capital accounts for between 11 to 15% of China’s growth.
To achieve its ambition of sustaining growth for another 30 years, China will require not only technological and human capital improvements, but also reform of its rule of law, the role of the state, and the re-balancing of its economy. Re-balancing the economy will involve boosting domestic demand (consumption, investment, government spending) to grow more quickly than exports, shifting toward services (including non-tradable areas) and away from agriculture, increasing urbanization to increase incomes, and permitting greater external sector liberalization, including the internationalization of the RMB.
The other big component of economic growth is how much output is raised by increasing the inputs — adding more capital or workers — what economists call factor accumulation. Multiple studies have found that China’s economic growth is largely labor-intensive with high levels of fixed capital investment. Researchers have estimated that 10 to 20% of GDP growth may be attributable to the growth of the labor force, while capital accounts for about half of growth. But it’s also essential to figure out which portion comes from skilled workers (often called human capital). In other words, growth isn’t just about adding more workers. It’s the quality of those workers that also matter — other experts have argued, for instance, that economic growth driven by improvements in education and skills has the potential to be more sustainable. Human capital accounts for between 11 to 15% of China’s growth. Factor accumulation (capital and labour) thus accounts for about 60 to 70% of GDP growth.
China has accomplished a remarkable feat in transforming itself from one of the world’s poorest countries to its second largest economy in just 30 years. Yet the determinants of its successful development are far from established or well understood. With so much debate happening now ...

The current population of China in 2021 is 1,444,216,107, a 0.34% increase from 2020. The population of China in 2020 was 1,439,323,776, a 0.39% increase from 2019. The population of China in 2019 was 1,433,783,686, a 0.43% increase from 2018.
The population of China in 2018 was 1,427,647,786, a 0.47% increase from 2017.
Rather, the leadership’s primary concern was to ensure that rapid population growth would not jeopardizethe country’s ambitious plans for economic development. In the 1950’s Chairman Mao Zedong encouraged familiesto have as many children as possible, and by 1979 China’s population had nearly doubled in the span of 30 years to reach about 970 million.
However, even before Mao’s death China had begun to promotefamily planning and birth control, largely in response to the famine that occurred during the Great Leap Forward. Such efforts led to a fertility reductionof 5.8 children per woman in 1970 to 2.7 by the time the one-child policy was actually introduced. Nevertheless, China’s leaders at the time deemed it necessary to introduce coercive measures in an effort to further limit population growth.
This is a growth by 110.2 percent in 60 years. The highest increase in China was recorded in 1966 with 2.83%. The biggest decrease in 1961 with -1.01%. In the same period, the total population of all countries worldwide increased by 155.5 percent.
