5. China

Population Growth = -0.01%

China, the second most populated country in the world, has a population almost equal to that of India. However, it has experienced a consistent decline since 1965, following the implementation of population control policies by the Chinese government. Although these policies have since been overturned, their long-term effects have contributed to a decline in the Chinese population. Projections suggest that the country’s population growth is expected to further decrease to -0.52% by 2050.
