- [Narrator] With more than 1,440,000,000 people living within its border, the People's Republic of China is the world's most populous nation.
2
It comprises just under 20% of the entire world's population.
3
While the Republic itself was only founded in the mid-20th century, China's borders are vast encompassing a diversity of landscapes, cultures, languages and traditions that date back thousands of years.
4
Thanks to extensive record keeping by emperors dating back to the 2nd century, we know that for a millennium the population fluctuated between roughly 40 and 60 million people as plagues and wars came and went.
5
Then in the Ming Dynasty in the 14th century, China's population began growing steadily.
6
Like many nations, the period coinciding with the Industrial Revolution brought changes in health and nutrition that extended lifespans and reduced infant mortality.
7
By 1820, China had more than 380 million citizens which was 1/3 of the whole world's population.
8
When the People's Republic of China was established in October 1949, its total population was already half a billion, more than triple the US population of 150 million at that time.
9
The modern nation covers an area of just over 3.7 million square miles with a total population density of 375 people per square mile.
10
Shanghai alone is home to more than 23 million people giving it a population density of just under 5,200 individuals per square mile.
11
In its more concentrated districts, this figure soars to more than 9,800 inhabitants for every square mile.
12
Elsewhere China's population could be considered quite sparse.
13
Tibet's 3.18 million people make up just a fraction of a percent of the total population and due to its rugged terrain, it has an average of just five people per square mile.
14
Under the Communist Party of China the total fertility rate was initially five to six children per woman.
15
This caused rapid population growth, which was first seen as an advantage by China's government.
16
However, the population outstripped agricultural production and a series of catastrophic famines claimed millions of lives.
17
From 1958 to 1960, an economic campaign, called the Great Leap Forward, attempted to bring China's agrarian state into line with modern nations, such as the U.K.
18
Farmers were relocated into villages called communes and many were forced to give up what little food they grew.
19
The state took it for processing and export, and this led to mass starvation.
20
In the years that followed, continued reforms further industrialized China.
21
By the 1960s, child mortality was dropping significantly.
22
Where previously more than 131 out of every 1,000 children born would die before their fifth birthday, that figure fell to 55 in 1980.
23
Today, that figure is just 10.
24
From a life expectancy of around 32 from the mid 19th century through to the 1920s, by the 1970s, the average citizen in China could expect to live well into their 60s.
25
In 2021, this figure reached 77 years.
26
In just a few decades, the population virtually doubled.
27
What was seen as a tremendous resource was beginning to look like a serious problem.
28
One solution was to encourage couples to marry later and have just two children.
29
In 1979, China's leader, Deng Xiaoping, reduced that number to just one child per couple in what would famously become known as China's one-child policy.
30
Those who had more children faced a penalty in the form of a child raising fee.
31
Contraception and sterilization were enforced at the risk of losing employment or access to healthcare.
32
The policy successfully reduced the total fertility rate seeing it drop to 1.7 children per woman, well below the replacement rate of 2.1.
33
But in 2015, faced with an aging population and an increasing dependency ratio, the government relaxed the policy to allow for two children.
34
Then in 2021, with a fertility rate of just 1.3, the number of children allowable was raised again to three.
35
So what might the future hold?
36
China has very few immigrants with the government issuing only around 1,000 permanent residency cards each year.
37
At the same time, more Chinese have emigrated in recent years, especially wealthy ones.
38
China experiences a consistently low fertility rate, a declining infant mortality rate, and an increasing life expectancy.
39
This is reflected in China's population distribution with the bottom tapering inward and a widening in the middle age groups.
40
Together these factors place China in stage four of the Demographic Transition Model.
41
It's expected that China's population will continue to increase slowly, peaking at 1.46 billion around 2030.
42
Then China's birth rate is expected to fall below the death rate and the population will begin declining.
43
It could drop to just over one billion people by the end of the century or perhaps even lower.
44
During this period of decline, China will have progressed to stage five of the Demographic Transition Model, joining some of the most developed countries in the world.
45
Just as China had to deal with the consequences of a booming population in the past, in the future, the consequences of a shrinking one might need some innovative thinking.

인기 동영상

이 수업에 대해

이번 영상에서는 중국의 인구 변동에 대한 설명과 인구 통계의 변화를 살펴봅니다. 학습자들은 이 수업을 통해 중국의 역사적 인구 성장과 정책 변화, 그리고 그로 인해 나타나는 다양한 사회적 영향에 대해 이해할 수 있습니다. 영어를 연습하면서 이를 통해 사회 과학과 관련된 어휘도 학습할 수 있는 기회를 제공합니다.

주요 어휘 및 구문

  • 인구 밀도 (Population Density) - 특정 지역에 거주하는 사람의 수.
  • 출산율 (Fertility Rate) - 여성 한 명이 낳는 평균 자녀 수.
  • 통계 (Statistics) - 수치로 나타낸 데이터.
  • 아사 (Starvation) - 식량 부족으로 인한 굶주림.
  • 정책 (Policy) - 정부의 공식적인 결정이나 규정.
  • 이민 (Immigration) - 다른 나라로 이주하는 행위.
  • 노령 인구 (Aging Population) - 고령 인구 비율이 높은 사회.

연습 팁

이번 영상은 중국의 인구 통계에 대해 다루고 있어 다양한 숫자와 관련된 어휘가 많습니다. shadow speech를 통해 발음을 연습하며, 자연스러운 어조를 익히는 것이 중요합니다. 영상의 속도는 일반적으로 중간 정도이므로 처음 듣는 부분은 반복해서 따라 읽어보고, 점차 속도를 높여 보세요. 또한, shadowing site를 활용해 실제 발화의 억양과 리듬에 맞춰 연습하는 것도 좋은 방법입니다. 미국식 억양을 흉내 내며 shadow speak을 통해 자신의 발음과 문장의 흐름을 지속적으로 연습하면, 영어 회화를 유창하게 구사하는 데 큰 도움이 될 것입니다. 마지막으로, 동영상의 내용을 친구와 함께 논의하며 다양한 의견을 교환하는 것도 효과적인 회화 연습 방법입니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
