Abstract
After four decades of strict birth control, the rapid growth of China’s population has slowly begun to decline. This long-lasting low fertility is therefore expected to have significant consequences for China’s economic growth especially due the decline in working-age population and the acceleration of population ageing. The present thesis will take China as a case to analyse empirically the relationship between population growth and economic growth in the last two decades and verify the alignments with present growth theories. The analysis is conducted by using a data set of 31 Chinese provinces.
