China's population decreased for the second consecutive year, birth rate declined

China is the country with the second largest economy in the world. Till last year, China was at the top in terms of population. But then India left China behind in terms of population. The main reason for India leaving China behind is not the increasing population of India, but the decreasing population of China. There is a continuous population decline in China, which the country's President Xi Jinping also considers a matter of concern.

China's population has declined for the second consecutive year in 2023. Even before this, a decline in China's population was seen in 2022. At the end of 2023, China's population was 140.9 crores. From the end of 2022 to the end of 2023, China's population saw a decline of more than 2 million.

The birth rate in China has also declined. This is the biggest reason for the decreasing population. There is a continuous decline in the birth rate in China.

The biggest reason for the decline in the birth rate in China is increasing unemployment. Youth unemployment is increasing in China. Due to the lack of jobs, financial stress is also increasing for the youth and due to this they are not giving priority to marriage and having children.
