Guiping, Guangxi, Guangxi's GDP data for each county (city) in 2023 was released, and Wei Ji found that in the top counties and cities, GDP and per capita GDP are not proportional, simply put, the higher the GDP, the lower the per capita income. In other words, many counties and cities with high GDP are piled up by a large number of people.
For example, Guiping and Pingnan in the Guigang region are both counties and cities with large populations in Guangxi.
Guiping has the highest population at 152320,000 people, with an overall GDP of 3889.9 billion yuan ranks second in Guangxi's county-level (city), but its per capita GDP ranks first from the bottom, at 25,537 yuan; Pingnan has a population of 111030,000 people, GDP 3080.2 billion yuan, with a per capita GDP of 27,742 yuan, ranking second to last. It can also be seen that the development of various parts of Guangxi is seriously unbalanced.
Guiping and Pingnan are located in Guangxi's richest and largest plain - Xunyu Plain, in people's impression, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, outstanding people, and talents come out in large numbers. It stands to reason that with its geographical advantages and large population, it should develop rapidly.
Since ancient times, these two places, as one of the earliest places to receive the influence of the Central Plains civilization, are indeed very well developed, prosperous and rich, with many talents, and have been prosperous commercial and trade centers in history, with profound cultural heritage.
With the advent of the new era and the development of the industrial economy, these two places have also begun to perform well and rank among the "top ten counties (cities) in Guangxi" all year round.
But in the past few years, these two places have begun to show fatigue, Guiping has lost the top position, and Pingnan has also declined.
In 2023, Guiping will increase by 183.1 billion yuan barely maintained the second position, and was pressed by Hepu behind him. In the context of Guangxi's development center of gravity to the south and the rise of the "seaward economy", the economic growth of Hepu, Bobai and Hengzhou cities has been rapid, and it is not impossible for Guiping to further slide to the third or fourth or even fifth position;
In 2023, Pingnan will directly fall out of the top 10 ranks, ranking 11th, and the increment will be negative, 120.3 billion yuan.
This also shows that the era of fighting for GDP based on population alone has passed, and the economy has transformed from extensive and intensive to a sophisticated emerging technology industry. Talent has become an important factor in leading economic development.
It is true that Guiping and Pingnan have a large population and great talents, but with the changes of the times, the development here is gradually lagging behind, and the phenomenon of population (talent) loss is becoming more and more serious. According to statistics, in recent years, the population outflow of Guiping and Pingnan has been at a high level, and it has become a city with a population (talent) outflow, and a large number of brain drains have restricted the pace of development of Guiping and Pingnan.
This has also led to the relatively low level of economic development in these two places, with a single industrial structure, "strong agriculture and light industry", which is difficult to provide sufficient employment opportunities and good career development prospects. In addition, the relative lack of educational and medical resources in these two cities makes it difficult to meet people's needs, and the urban infrastructure construction is lagging behind, and the living conditions are relatively poor, causing many people to choose to leave.
Just like Gui Ping, for decades, the feeling to Wei Ji is that there is not much change, the tired streets, the chaotic buildings, the planning of the three rivers and six banks seems to be always only on the drawing paper, and so on.
Talent is the main engine of today's urban development, and the impact of their loss, Guiping and Pingnan is far-reaching. On the one hand, the brain drain has led to a weakening of the innovation capacity of the two cities and a lack of vitality in economic development. On the other hand, the brain drain has also exacerbated the problem of population aging in Guiping and Pingnan, which has brought tremendous pressure to the social security system.
How to solve this problem? This requires good planning and reasonable layout of the two places!
This is Guangxi, discover the beauty of Guangxi, feel the beauty of Guangxi!
