An Analysis of the Development of Muslim Population in China

MA Zheng-liang;China Minority Population Magazine Press;  

The Muslim population in China has reached 23 million,spread mainly in the five northwestern provinces and autonomous regions. During the 57 years from the first national population census to the sixth one,the Muslim population was increased by nearly two- folded,a high growth rate indeed. The characteristics of Muslim are good in physical condition,and high in proportion of centenarians; yet,the people are low in educational level,and poor in occupational structure,which needs improvement. With high birth rate and low mortality rate,the young people take a large proportion of the whole population while the old a small one. As Muslim do not put an end to the life of girl babies,the sex ratio maintains at a normal proportion. With the decline in population growth,the physical and educational qualities of the Muslim will be improved further.
