Can China’s Communist Party defuse its demographic time bomb? (Dexter Tiff Roberts, Atlantic Council)

December 22, 2021

This has been an annus horribilis for China’s demographics. The Seventh National Population Census revealed in May that only twelve million babies were born last year, the fewest newborns since China’s great famine in 1961. The country’s skewed sex ratio showed little change—with 111 boys born to every 100 girls—and the proportion of elderly Chinese (those 65 or older) grew from 8.9 percent a decade ago to 13.5 percent today and could reach 30 percent by 2050, predicts noted demographer Wang Feng.
