2026China in 2026
As of 2026, China counts an estimated 1,412,914,088 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 2016, the population was 1,404,052,632; it has grown by 0.6% since. The median age is 41.7 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there are 21.1 children under 15 and 21.6 people aged 65 or over. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
