In this context, the present study had three related research aims. Firstly, it sought to predict the urbanization and population dynamics in China at both national and provincial levels for the period of 2015 to 2030. Secondly, on this basis, it sought to examine the spatial variation of urbanization given the predicted national urbaniza- tion rate of 70.12%. Thirdly, it sought to estimate and evaluate the national and provincial demands of investment in the development of new-type urbanization. The main conclusions from this study were as follows： （1） The population size and urbanization rate will reach 1.445 billion and 70.12%, respectively, from 2015 to 2030. （2） The demographic dividend will vanish when the population pressure reaches its maximum. During this period, there will be 70.16 million urban population born. The suburban population that becomes urbanized will be 316.7 million, and thus the net increase in urban population will reach 386 million. （3） Although the urbanization rate of every Chinese province will increase during 2015-2030, it will do so un- equally, while differences in urbanization quality among provinces will also be substantial. In some provinces, moreover, the urbanization quality is not compatible with their eco-social development. （4）A total of 4,105,380 billion yuan is required to fund new-type urbanization and the investment demand for each province varies greatly; for example, Guangdong prov- ince requires the most funding, amounting to approximately 148 times that required by Tibet, the province in least need of funding. In the final part of this study, policy suggestions con- cerning the investment of the new-type urbanization are put forward and discussed.展开更多

If China＇ s economic growth is a successful case in the history of human economic develop-ment,it can be said that China＇ s income distribution is an unsuccessful case. Successful economicgrowth and unsuccessful income distribution are the characteristics o~ China＇ s economic transforma-tion and development. This is perhaps due to a vision of ＂first growth, later distribution＂ of the Chi-nese government at all levels, and development strategy of＂ sacrificing fairness for efficiency＂, and the＂selective reform＂ mode of economic transformation. Objectively speaking, as for China income dis-tribution pattern at present time, there are several reasons, such as choice of development strategy,mode of economic transformation, resistance of interest groups. The reform of income distributionsystem should be pushed forward sooner rather than later, should be fast rather than slow.展开更多
