With a population of over 1.3 billion and an estimated growth rate of 0.57%, the PRC is very concerned about its population growth and has attempted with mixed results to implement a strict family planning policy ( 计划生育政策 ) . The government's goal is one child per family, with exceptions in rural areas and for ethnic minorities. The government's goal is to stabilize the population and population growth early in the 21st century, although some current projections estimate a population of anywhere ranging from 1.4 billion to 1.6 billion by 2025. The following series of tables contain the full details about nowadays China population:
