Features: When studying China's population issues, this book consistently focuses on the historical background of population transition, economic restructuring, and social transformation. I believe this captures the essence. China's population transition has always been intertwined with economic restructuring and social transformation. This book not only takes development as the center of its research but is also a specialized monograph on demography written under the guidance of the Scientific Outlook on Development. Each part of the book takes development as the research subject, and the entire book embodies the guiding principles of the Scientific Outlook on Development. This is precisely why the book is worth serious reading and also what sets it apart from other works on population issues. Additionally, the book offers very in-depth discussions on many issues, such as the issue of comprehensive human development, the fundamental content, main measures, and evaluation of population control, population control under the conditions of a market economy, rural population control, and more, presenting many insightful perspectives and policy recommendations. In summary, this book is a highly innovative work. The author has a broad perspective and offers insightful analyses, with many viewpoints that are refreshing and original. The book does not limit itself to a superficial description of facts but strives to generalize, summarize, and elevate the theory. The book not only has high scientific value but also strong practical and consulting value.
