2. People’s Republic of China

Total Population of Ages 0-24: 412.7 million

The People’s Republic of China is the second most populous country in the world with a population of a whopping 1.4 billion people. However, lower birth rates have pushed China’s population growth downwards, and historically the growth rate has stood at 0.53%. Famous for its one child policy, China slowly moved to two children, then three children, and then ended up abandoning the requirement completely as it struggled with low growth rates.
