China’s births fell to their lowest in almost six decades amid the coronavirus pandemic last year, putting the country’s population on course to peak within the next five years and adding pressure on Beijing to step up reforms to maintain economic growth as the workforce shrinks.
There were 1.412 billion people in China last year, according to the results of a once-a-decade census, up 5.38% from a decade before, but slightly below previous official projections. The annual average population growth of 0.53% in the past decade was the slowest since the 1950s.

The Philippine and Malaysian economies continued contracting in the first three months of the year, adding to signs that some of Southeast Asiaâs biggest nations are struggling amid a resurgence in coronavirus cases.
The quarterly figures released Tuesday which came in below all forecasts for the Philippines add to recent weaker signals from top regional economies Indonesia and Thailand.
All four countries have faced a surge of Covid-19 cases in recent weeks, part of the broader challenge across Asiaâs developing economies to stem a renewed outbreak, particularly in India. Among Southeast Asiaâs biggest economies, only Singapore and Vietnam, which have been able to contain the pandemic, have shown year-on-year expansions in the first quarter.
