摘要

Recently the Institute of Population and Labor Economics and Social Sciences Academic Press,both under the umbrella of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences,released a green paper on the Chinese population.It predicts that the Chinese population will peak at 1.442 billion in 2029,and start to decline thereafter,falling to 1.364 billion by 2050 and on to 1.248 billion by 2065.If China’s total fertility rate(TFR)is to stay at 1.6,the population decline will start around 2027,and the number of Chinese people will dwindle to 1.172 billion by 2065,the level of 1990.
