Features: This book, as a research outcome supported by the "Research Start-up Fund for Returned Scholars" project and the Beijing Social Sciences Academic, conducts a series of discussions and empirical analyses on China's population and economic development. To address this fundamental topic, it first examines the patterns of China's population changes since the founding of the country, the fluctuations in economic development and population growth from a general perspective, and conducts theoretical analysis on the impact of rapid population growth on the speed of economic development. From the perspective of population economics, it investigates multiple economic structures and employment structures, economic openness and population mobility, economic system reform and population control policies, as well as future economic development trends and their relationship with population factors. In terms of methodology, this book adopts an approach that moves from micro to macro, from short-term to long-term, from static to dynamic, and from statistical empirical analysis to econometric economic analysis in analyzing China's population and economic issues.
