Abstract

China has the largest population of any country in the world, but it does not, as already observed, have the highest average density of population in the world. India, for example, has a higher average density of population. So also do Japan and many European countries, e.g. the Netherlands, Belgium and the United Kingdom. But, among other things, the industrialisation of the latter countries enables them to support high population densities. Nevertheless, China’s leaders in the post-Mao period, unlike previously, have been concerned to slow down population growth in China because population growth is seen as a hindrance to economic development.
