What is the population of Tibet?

From the 7th to the 18th century, due to frequent natural disasters, epidemics, poor medical conditions, and the fact that a considerable proportion of the population, monks and nuns, did not engage in population production, Tibet's population was in negative growth for a long time, and even continued to decline sharply. From the 18th to the mid-20th century, due to the cruel exploitation and oppression of serfdom, the population in Tibet dropped by about 800,000.

Since the peaceful liberation in 1951, the population of Tibet, especially the Tibetan population, has entered the fastest growth period in history. Since 1956, the birth rate and natural growth rate of Tibet's population have been higher than the national average. According to the data of the 1% population sampling survey, at the end of 2006, the total population of Tibet was 2.81 million, of which the Tibetan population accounted for more than 92% of the total population. Compared with the 1.1409 million people when Tibet was peacefully liberated in 1951, the population increased by 1.6691 million, the birth rate was 17.4%, the death rate was 5.7‰, and the natural growth rate was 11.7‰.
