Age Structure Shift in China: Evolving Demographics Over Half a Century In 1950, 0-9-year-olds were the most significant age group in China, making up 24.5% of the population. This percentage occasionally exceeded 25% during the 1950s and 1960s. Fast forward to the present day, where children under 10 now represent only 9.9% of the population. In contrast, individuals aged 50-59 have taken the lead, constituting 16.5% of the population, a substantial increase from the 7.8% recorded in 1950. Looking ahead to 2100, projections suggest that children under 10 will make up a mere 5% of the population. The most prominent demographic group in China by then is anticipated to be individuals aged 80-89, making up a significant 18.8% of the population, a stark contrast to the 2.2% currently and a mere 0.6% in 1950.
