Population Geography

With an approximate current population of 1.3 billion, China and its economy is growing. Even thought China's current population growth is characterized as having a low birth rate, low death rate and a low growth rate, when you have a population over 1 billion a low growth rate is still growth. There has been attempts to slow down the population growth, like limiting the number of children one family could have. This is neither good for the people or for the economy. The population is seeing smaller groups of working age people due to this limitation which in the long run will harm the economy.
