According to the United Nations World Population Prospects 2024, the estimated population of China is 1,409,988,666, growing at an annual rate of -0.23%. That works out to a net change of approximately -8,836 people per day or -368 per hour.
The population change in China is driven by three components: approximately 8,709,352 births per year and 11,716,325 deaths per year, plus net migration. Together these components produce the overall growth rate of -0.23% per year.
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.
