Features: The development of academic endeavors is like the Yangtze River, vast and unending, with waves following waves. It is also like the passing of the torch, with each generation building upon the achievements and experiences of the previous one, making the light ever brighter. Later scholars must understand the work already done by their predecessors and inherit their accomplishments to continue moving forward. The Academic Committee of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences brings together dozens of senior experts from dozens of disciplines within our institution, each with decades of research experience in their respective fields and having made significant contributions to their areas of expertise. The published series features representative works selected by each expert from their academic career, showcasing their diligent academic journey and reflecting the partial achievements and developments in various fields of philosophy and social sciences in China, especially since the reform and opening-up. This is a highly meaningful endeavor.
This Collected Works focuses on the author's decades of research, primarily within the field of demography, exploring the relationship between population and economic development. It centers on the study of population development strategies and their decision-making choices. At the same time, it deepens theoretical and methodological research in demography, striving to advance theoretical studies through empirical research and, conversely, to guide empirical research with deeper theoretical insights.
The fifth part of the Collected Works, "Demographic Discipline Construction and Academic Exchange," includes 12 articles that reflect the outcomes of discipline-building efforts in demography and offer systematic insights into the development of demographic science in China.
