Summary
The Sample Survey on Population Changes provides estimates for birth rates, death rates, and growth rates in 2006. The survey targeted 1.19 million people in China (0.91% of the total population). Household questionnaires gathered information on employment, marital status, births, deaths, household size, and people who have left the household. The survey data suggests a total population of 1,314,480,000 (at the end of 2006). The survey also projects a birth rate of 12.09 per thousand, a death rate of 6.81 per thousand, and a natural growth rate of 5.28 per thousand. Population data are broken down by gender and 5-year age groups for urban, rural, and town areas. Death data are broken down by gender and 5-year age groups.
