About births in China

Based on data from the United Nations World Population Prospects (2024), an estimated 8,709,352 people are born in China each year. That works out to roughly 23,861 births per day, 994 per hour, or approximately one person every 3.62 seconds. The counter above tracks the estimated number of births that have occurred so far today.

The crude birth rate in China is approximately 6.2 births per 1,000 people , which is below the global average of 16.1 per 1,000. The total fertility rate stands at 1.02 children per woman. Since this is below the replacement level of 2.1, the population of China would decline over the long term without net immigration.

In addition to births, approximately 11,716,325 deaths occur in China each year, resulting in a natural decrease of approximately 3,006,973 people per year.
