中国人口将在2030年达到高峰 (China Population to Peak in 2030)

一项由中国政府批准的研究报告说，20多年后，中国的人口数量将达到15亿的最高峰。同时，中国男女性别比例将持续失衡，进一步向男性倾斜。

据中国国营媒体报导，这项研究发现，拥有世界上最多人口的中国，到本世纪30 年代中期以后，人口数量将隍7d始逐渐下降。 2005年后期，中国的人口数量为13亿。报告还说，在今后20年里，中国新生儿的男女比例将是119比100，远远高于国际社会所接受的数字。在上个世纪90年代，中国男、女新生儿的比例是111比100。

中国家庭传统上偏重男孩，而从80年代早期开始实施的一胎化政策也大大加剧了眼下的性别不平衡状态。不过，这个报告敦促政府不要改变现行人口政策，并指责胎儿性别鉴别技术和非医疗流产是造成这一现状的原因。

A government-approved study in China says the country's population will peak at one-point-five-billion in about 20 years, while the gender ratio will continue to skew towards males.

State-run media say the study found that China's population, the world's largest, will begin to gradually drop after the mid-2030's. China's population stood at one-point-three billion in late 2005. The report also said in the next couple of decades, China would have 119 boys born for every 100 girls, far more skewed than internationally accepted figures. In 1990, there were 111 males born for every 100 females in China.

Chinese families traditionally prefer sons, and the country's one-child policy launched in the early 1980's has contributed greatly to the current skewed ratio. But the report urged the government not to change current population policies, and blamed fetus gender identification and non-medical abortion for the figures.
