This chart shows China's birth and death rate

00:03

over the last 60 years.

00:05

For most of it, births are high.

00:07

But in 2022, China had more deaths than births

00:11

causing its population to decrease

00:13

for the first time in 6 decades.

00:15

To get why this is such a big deal, consider this:

00:19

China is the world's manufacturing superpower

00:21

and that's in large part because of its huge population.

00:25

Nearly 30% of the country's economic output

00:28

comes from manufacturing.

00:29

Now, here's China's population over the last 60 years.

00:32

Even after losing almost a million people in 2022

00:36

its population is still about as big as it's ever been:

00:39

1.4 billion people.

00:41

But that's projected to shrink by nearly half

00:43

by the end of the century.

00:45

Over the years, China's growth and policies

00:48

have contributed to its population decline.

00:50

Today, it's looking to reverse course

00:52

to keep its population steady.

00:54

The problem is it might be too late.

00:59

In the 50s, under Mao, China experienced

01:02

one of the most gruesome famines on record.

01:04

30 million people died.

01:07

If we look at that on the birth and death rates chart

01:10

you'll see a big spike in deaths.

01:11

At the same time, the birth rate dropped

01:14

causing the population to shrink.

01:16

But, as often happens with wars, famines, and other major crises

01:20

immediately after, there was a baby boom.
