In 2016, China had a total population of 1,404,052,632 people. A decade earlier, in 2006, the population was 1,318,054,036; it has grown by 6.5% since. With a median age of 37.1 years, China had a youth dependency ratio of 25.7 and an old-age dependency ratio of 14.7 per 100 people of working age. The near-vertical sides of the pyramid indicate a stationary age structure, with births roughly balancing the passage of cohorts into older age.
