Surely everyone will agree with the fact that at the moment it is the most populated China is a country in the world.Today, China is home to about 1.3 billion people, or about 22% of the total population of our planet.
According to experts in this area, the population of China was not always so high.For example, the original population of the country was only 60 million people, this figure remained until the 17th century.Rapid population growth was seen in the 18th century.In 1868, China had registered 300 million people, but by 1949, these figures increased by almost half.It is important to note that the density of the population of China would continue to grow exponentially, but unfortunately, every fifth child, and did not live up to a year, dying, and life expectancy was less than 35 years.
Characteristics of China's population
As for the sex structure of the population, it is dominated at present young people.This trend is associated with a relatively high social status adjustment is young people who frequent childbirth and heavy conditions.At the moment, the country held special demographic policy.Family with one child is eligible for benefits and various social benefits.If a family is born the second child, she automatically loses all the grants and returns the entire amount previously paid.
The population of China is certainly growing every year.It is important to note that the population is distributed unevenly across the country enough.According to statistics, about 80% of its citizens live in an area of 0.1% of the entire territory of the state.The most densely populated areas is considered to be the area of the middle reaches of the Yellow River and Yangtze River.In the western part of the country (Tibet) density is only 2 individuals / km².
share of urban population is relatively minor - about 33%.In China there are 34 cities with populations greater than today one million people, where about 40% of urban residents.The largest cities are: Shanghai, Hong Kong, Harbin, Wuhan, Tianjin, and many others.
Taking into account the above information (the population of China is high enough), the country boasts the most numerous and the human resources.For example, in the economic sector involved today about ½ of the population.Moreover, the beginning of the 21st century in this country, according to experts, the unemployment rate was not more than three percent.The average, according to statistical estimates, life expectancy compared to the 18th century dramatically increased and now accounts for 70 years.
China is considered to be multi-ethnic country on the territory of the state is home to about 56 ethnic groups.More than 93% - Chinese.
According to the researchers, by 2033, the population of China is estimated to increase by 1.5 billion people.Favourable living conditions, the lack of unemployment, high life expectancy, increase in fertility - all of this is nothing more than today and affects the population of each state.
