Summary
The Sample Survey on Population Changes provides estimates for birth rates, death rates, and growth rates in 2009. The survey targeted 1.16 million people in China (0.87% 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 1,334,740,000 (at the end of 2009). The survey also projects a birth rate of 12.13 per thousand, a death rate of 7.08 per thousand, and a natural growth rate of 5.05 per thousand. Population data are broken down by gender and 5-year age groups for urban, rural, and town areas.
