Top 10 countries with the fastest population decline in the world

The country with the sharpest population decline in the world is China, with a decrease of more than 3 million people in the 1-year period up to July 1, 7.

With nearly 2.856.292 net migrants leaving China, the country has lost more than 300 million people in 3 year, to 1 as of July 1.419.321.278, 1.
