Demographics of Hong Kong in the context of Population of China

The People's Republic of China is the second most-populous country in the world with a population exceeding 1.4 billion, only surpassed by India.

China's population has a relatively small youth component, partially a result of the strict enforcement of China's one-child policy that was in effect from 1979 until 2015, which limited urban families to one child and rural families to two. As of 2022, Chinese state media reported the country's total fertility rate to be 1.09, one of the lowest in the world alongside South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.
