人口负增长是中国人口发展史上的重大转折,必将对我国经济社会发展产生深远影响,因此需重点考察人口负增长时代的突出特点及其战略应对问题。研究显示,人口负增长时代我国人口总量减少逐步加速、人口年龄结构快速老化、婚姻家庭特征更加多元、人口地区聚集和收缩并存、人口城镇化快速发展、人口素质水平持续提升。为有效应对人口负增长的影响,需要加快推进人口发展理念转变、加快构建生育支持政策体系、积极应对人口老龄化、构建负增长时代的人口监测预警体系、多措并举促进人口素质提升。

Negative population growth is a major turning point in the history of China’s population development,which will have a profound impact on China’s economic and social development.So it’s necessary to focus on the prominent characteristics of the era of negative population growth and its strategic response.The research shows that in the era of negative population growth,the total population reduction is gradually accelerated,the population age structure is rapidly aging,the characteristics of marriage and family are more diversified,population increasing and shrinking coexist in different regions,the population urbanization is developing rapidly,and the population quality level is continuously improving.To effective reply to the impact of negative population growth,we should change the concept of population development,accelerate the construction of fertility support policy system,actively respond to population aging,build a population monitoring and warning system,and take multiple measures to promote population quality.
