China in 2000

In 2000, China had a total population of 1,269,581,176 people. A decade earlier, in 1990, the population was 1,153,582,724; it has grown by 10.1% since. Half of the population was younger than 30.0 years; 24.5% were children under 15 and 7.0% were 65 or older. The near-vertical sides of the pyramid indicate a stationary age structure, with births roughly balancing the passage of cohorts into older age.
