    690 million women in China, let’s say 30% are in age to give birth, that’s 207 million. If only 50% of those actually give birth in the next 5 years, that’s a whooping 47.6 million kids per year.

    Yeah, that population will climb, just not overnight.

      China’s birthrate is 1.15 children per woman. Replacement birthrate is 2.1 children per woman.

      If each woman is having less than 2.1 children, the population falls.
