12. China's Population by Age Groups, 1950-2050* During the next 50 years China will experience a dramatic population aging. According to this most recent UN population projection (the 1998 Revision), China will have about 630 million people age 50 and above in 2050 - while there will be only some 78 million children below the age of 5 and just 324 million children and teenagers below the age of 20. In other words: by 2050 China will have almost twice as many people above age 50 than below age 20. * These estimates and projections include the population of Mainland China and Hong Kong.
