Chinas Population<\/a> fell last year for the first time in six decades, a historic turn that is expected to mark the start of a long period of decline in its citizen numbers with profound implications for its economy<\/a>. The drop, the worst since the Great Famine of 1961, also lends weight to predictions that India will become the worlds most populous nation in this year. The population dropped by roughly 850,000 to 1.41175 billion at the end of 2022.

The figures also logged the highest death rate since 1974, registering 7.37 deaths per 1000 people compared with a rate of 7.18 deaths in 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
