Population is a fundamentally hindering factor in our country′s sustainable development. The fast-growing large population imposes a great pressure on resources, environment and economics and social development. The low quality of population has hindered economic development and the transfer of the economic growth mode. What′s more, it has also aggravated the waste of resources and the pollution of the environment. The trend of human aging not only adds to the economic burden of society, but also poses a higher demend on the social insurance of the old.
