数据显示，从2000年至2010年，中国人口年均增长0.57%，低于1990年至2000年间1.07%的年均增速。
国家统计局局长马建堂说，中国人口老龄化给劳动人口带来了压力。
目前，中国60岁以上人口占了总人口的13.3%，较2000年上升了近3%，65岁以上人口占了近8.9%。14岁以下人口比例为16.6%，较10年前下降了6.3%。
马建堂说，人口老龄化对沿海和发达地区及其劳动人口影响最大，不过全部31个省份都受到了影响。
数据还显示，城市地区人口大幅增加。中国有近半数人口，更确切说是49.68%的人口，如今居住在城市。2000年，城市人口约占36%。
市场观察人士认为，未来五年及更长的时间，迅速的城市化将在世界第二大经济体中国的经济发展中发挥重要作用。

China's Population Rises To 1.339 Bln In 2010 From 1.265 Bln In 2000
China's population has risen to 1.339 billion from 1.265 billion in 2000, new census data released by the government Thursday show.
The new population figure for China's mainland reflects a growth rate of 5.84 per thousand over the decade, according to the data from the National Bureau of Statistics, which surveyed 400 million households in rural and urban China from November last year.
The country's population grew an average 0.57% annually from 2000 to 2010, slower than a 1.07% average annual rise in the period 1990-2000, the data showed.
China's aging population is creating a strain on the country's labor force, said Ma Jiantang, commissioner of the statistics bureau.
People over the age of 60 now account for 13.3% of China's population, up nearly 3% from 2000, while those over the age of 65 account for nearly 8.9%. Those under the age of 14 make up 16.6% of the population, down 6.3% from 10 years ago.
'Aging is affecting coastal and developed areas and their labor forces most, but all 31 provinces are affected,' Mr. Ma said.
The data also show that urban areas are swelling. Nearly half of China's population, or 49.68%, now lives in cities. Around 36% lived in urban areas in 2000.
Market watchers believe faster urbanization will play a significant role in the economic development of the world's second largest economy over the next five years and beyond.
