Currently, China's population is showing a trend of total scale reducing, birth rate declining, and population aging deepening. Excessive population flows to large cities, and the development of small and medium-sized cities lags behind, which lead to a rapid decline in fertility rate and a rapid increase in rural aging. To cope with the trend of low birth rate and the problem of serious aging in rural areas, it is urgent to guide the resource sinking and accelerate the development of small and medium-sized cities in the central and western regions.
Currently, the low fertility rate and aging situation in rural areas are severe in China.
1. The population has rapidly entered a stage of negative growth.
2. The deepening of population aging is rapid and phased.
3. The upbringing burden in rural areas is heavy.
The excessive concentration of population in large cities has led to prominent problems of the old and the children.
1. The population continues to gather in economically developed areas.
2. The rapid gathering of population in large cities leads to a sharp decline in fertility rate.
3. The accelerated flow of population to large cities intensifies the burden of elderly care in rural areas.
4. Population urbanization is not conducive to family upbringing and elderly care.
5. The lagging development of small and medium-sized cities in the central and western regions is the crux of the problem.
In response to the current situation, we need to guide the sinking of resource elements and enhance the development capacity of small and medium-sized cities in the central and western regions.
1. Enhance the endogenous development capacity of small and medium-sized cities.
2. Learn from the development experience of counties in developed eastern regions.
3. Pay attention to the balanced layout of high-quality public service institutions.
4. Promote the urbanization by population classification.
