About this data
Year-end resident population of China's 31 provinces, disaggregated by urban and rural areas, allowing for a direct reading of each province's urbanization rate. China has entered a phase of population decline, but the reduction is highly uneven: several northeastern provinces have experienced continuous population loss for over a decade, while Guangdong and Zhejiang continue to attract inward migration. This forms the baseline for all long-term projections regarding China's labor force and real estate sector, and serves as a mirror for Vietnam's own demographic challenges.
