This article is about the demographic features of the population of Cambodia, including population density, ethnicity, education level, health of the populace, economic status, religious affiliations and other aspects of the population. ==Population== Between 1874 and 1921, the total population of Cambodia increased from about 946,000 to 2.4 million.
By 1970, life expectancy had increased by about 2.5 years since 1945.
By 1950, it had increased to between 3,710,107 and 4,073,967, and in 1962 it had reached 5.7 million.
A post-Khmer Rouge baby boom pushed the population above 10 million, although growth has slowed in recent years. In 1959, about 45% of the population was under 15 years of age.
Infant mortality ranges from only 13 deaths per 1,000 live births in Phnom Penh to 78 deaths per 1,000 live births in Kampong Chhnang and Svay Rieng. ===Life expectancy=== In 1959, life expectancy at birth was 44.2 years for males and 43.3 years for females.
From the 1960s until 1975, the population of Cambodia increased by about 2.2% yearly, the lowest increase in Southeast Asia. By 1975 when the Khmer Rouge took power, the population was estimated at 7.3 million.
By 1950, it had increased to between 3,710,107 and 4,073,967, and in 1962 it had reached 5.7 million.
By 1962, this had increased slightly to 46%.
In 1962, an estimated 52% of the population was between 15 and 64 years of age, while 2% were older than 65.
By 1970, life expectancy had increased by about 2.5 years since 1945.
From the 1960s until 1975, the population of Cambodia increased by about 2.2% yearly, the lowest increase in Southeast Asia. By 1975 when the Khmer Rouge took power, the population was estimated at 7.3 million.
Of this total an estimated one to two million reportedly died between 1975 and 1978.
Of this total an estimated one to two million reportedly died between 1975 and 1978.
In 1981, the PRK gave the official population figure as nearly 6.7 million, although approximately 6.3 million to 6.4 million is probably more accurate. The average annual rate of population growth from 1978 to 1985 was 2.3% (see table 2, Appendix A).

The fertility rate was 4.0 children in 2000.
Currently, the infant mortality rate is 45 deaths per 1,000 live births for the five-year period before the survey compared with 66 deaths reported in the 2005 CDHS and 95 in the 2000 CDHS.
Under-five mortality rates have also decreased from 124 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2000, 83 deaths in 2005 to 54 deaths per 1,000 in 2010. Childhood mortality decreases markedly with mother’s education and wealth.

Fertility is highest in Mondol Kiri and Rattanak Kiri Provinces, where women have an average of 4.5 children, and lowest in Phnom Penh where women have an average of 2.0 children. ===Fertility and Births=== Total Fertility Rate (TFR) (Wanted Fertility Rate) and Crude Birth Rate (CBR): Total fertility rate and other related statistics by province, as of 2014: ===Infant and childhood mortality=== Childhood mortality rates are decreasing in Cambodia.
