City-level population projection for China under different pathways from 2010 to 2100

This dataset incorporated specific demographic information, accounting for sex and age, and considered five fertility and three migration scenarios from 2010 to 2100, reflecting the latest population migration policy developments and fertility change trend. By considering a broad spectrum of 362 cities in China, including prefecture-level and vice prefecture-level cities, we present a comprehensive set of future population projections at the city, provincial, and national levels under these fifteen scenarios. Researchers can select the desired level and scenario based on their specific research requirements and assumptions regarding future socioeconomic drivers.
