It's set! The real-time population of the province with the largest population in Chinese is 1500 million] The Guangdong Provincial High-quality Development Conference held a few days ago revealed a remarkable data: Guangdong has 12.7 billion permanent residents, about 1500 million people live in Guangdong in real time. This figure not only highlights Guangdong's solid position as the largest province in Chinese, but also highlights its economic activity and attractiveness.
Original words: We have 12.7 billion permanent residents, about 1500 million people live in Guangdong in real time.
Resident population usually refers to the population that lives in a certain area for a long time, including local residents and non-local residents.
In China, the definition of permanent population is usually based on half a year. Specifically, the resident population consists of the following two parts:
Local Registered Population: Residents who hold a local household registration and have resided in the local area for a long time. Even if they leave the local area temporarily, as long as it does not exceed half a year, they are still counted as local residents.
Non-resident population: Residents who do not have a local household registration but have lived in the local area for more than half a year. Although this part of the population is not registered here, it is also included in the local permanent population statistics because of its long-term residence.
From a population of 50 million at the beginning of the reform and opening up to the throne of the largest province in Chinese population today, what kind of demographic changes has Guangdong experienced? Why is it able to attract such a large influx of people?
From the "blockage" phenomenon of the Spring Festival, we can intuitively feel the attraction of Guangdong. Whether it is the congestion of the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao, Xuguang, Erguang, Wushen and other expressways, or the crowded vehicles with Guangdong license plates such as Guangdong A, Guangdong B and Guangdong S on the rural county roads in Hunan, it shows that a large number of people are flowing to Guangdong. Behind these vehicles are the "migrant workers" who fly all the way to the southeast, and countless young people who have the dream of "making money". They may come from different provinces, but they all have the same destination – Guangdong.
Based on the migration map and the data of the Seventh National Population Census, we can get a more specific picture of Guangdong's migrant population. According to the data, the five provinces with the most flows to Guangdong are Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi, Hubei, and Henan. Most of these provinces are China's most populous and labor-exporting provinces, and their labor resources provide strong support for Guangdong's economic development. Especially in Guangxi and Hunan, one out of every eight people and every 13 people came to Guangdong. The scale of this population movement is staggering.
So, why do people from these places choose to flock to Guangdong? The reasons behind this are driven by both economic interests and social and cultural attraction.
From an economic point of view, Guangdong, as the forefront of China's reform and opening up, has always been at the forefront of the country's economic development. There are many Fortune 500 companies and well-known brands here, providing people with abundant employment opportunities and entrepreneurial space. At the same time, Guangdong's industrial structure is diversified, from traditional manufacturing to modern service industries, there is a wide range of room for development. These provide more employment options and career development opportunities for migrants.
From a social and cultural point of view, Guangdong's open, inclusive, diverse and integrated social atmosphere is also an important factor in attracting foreign population. The inclusive, open and inclusive social atmosphere here provides a good environment for immigrants to integrate. Here, people from different regions and cultural backgrounds can live in harmony and create a better life together.
However, the influx of people in Guangdong has also brought its own set of challenges. For example, Guangdong's sheer population has put enormous pressure on urban planning, infrastructure and public services. How to rationally plan urban space, optimize transportation layout, and improve the level of public services has become an urgent problem to be solved in Guangdong. Secondly, the influx of people has also exacerbated the pressure of housing prices** and competition in Guangdong. For many immigrants, how to live and work in Guangdong and realize their dreams is also a big challenge.
In the face of these challenges, Guangdong needs to take proactive measures to deal with them. On the one hand, Guangdong needs to continue to promote measures such as the reform of the household registration system and the equalization of public services, so as to provide a better integration environment and public services for migrants. On the other hand, Guangdong also needs to strengthen urban planning and management, optimize the spatial distribution of population, and ensure the sustainable development of the city. At the same time, Guangdong also needs to increase investment in education and skills training to improve the employability and competitiveness of the migrant population, so that they can better integrate into the overall social and economic development of Guangdong.
Secondly, in China's population map, Guangdong is undoubtedly a unique existence. itIt is not only the largest province in Chinese, but also the largest province in terms of fertility。This phenomenon is particularly striking in the wave of globalization, modernization and urbanization.
According to the China Statistical Yearbook 2023,Guangdong's birth population in 2022 reached a staggering 10520 thousandThis figure exceeds the sum of the "free shipping areas" in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and has been the first major province in the country for five consecutive years. What's more worth mentioning is that Guangdong has had more than one million births for 40 consecutive years, which is a miracle across the country.
Why, then, is the fertility rate so high in Guangdong? The reason behind this is not a single one, but a combination of factors.
On the one hand, Guangdong's high fertility rate is due to its unique demographic structure. Guangdong has a large foreign population, mainly young people. These young people not only contribute to Guangdong's economic and social development, but also provide strong support for Guangdong's population growth and fertility increase. According to the Guangdong Statistical Yearbook 2023, the population over the age of 60 in Guangdong is only 1345%, far lower than nearly 20% in the country and more than 20% in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. This young population structure provides a strong guarantee for Guangdong's fertility rate.
On the other hand, Guangdong's fertility culture is also an important reason for its high fertility rate. In Guangdong, whether it is the Guangfu region or the Chaoshan region, the birth rate is generally higher than the national level. Among them, the clan and community system in Chaoshan is relatively intact, forming a certain self-protection mechanism, which provides a certain flexibility for the birth policy. At the same time, the traditional concept of "more children and more blessings" has been preserved in the Chaoshan area, which also provides cultural support for the increase of the local fertility rate. In places such as Shenzhen, the concentration of young people has also contributed to the increase in fertility due to the inflow effect.
However, Guangdong's status as the largest fertility province is not without its challenges. With the national population** peaking and the birth rate trending downward, Guangdong's fertility rate may also be under pressure. At the same time, with the economic and social development and demographic changes, Guangdong also needs to think about how to balance the relationship between population growth and resources and environment to ensure sustainable development.
Against this backdrop, how should Guangdong respond to the challenges ahead?
Guangdong needs to continue to optimize its population structure and improve its population quality. By attracting more high-quality talent and an influx of young people, Guangdong can maintain its high population and fertility rate. At the same time, Guangdong also needs to strengthen the education and training of the local population to enhance their employability and competitiveness, and provide strong support for economic and social development.
Guangdong needs to strengthen the guidance and inheritance of fertility culture. Through publicizing the birth policy and birth knowledge, we should guide the masses to establish a scientific concept of childbirth. At the same time, Guangdong can also excavate and inherit the excellent fertility culture, so that the traditional concept and modern fertility policy can be combined to provide cultural support for the improvement of the fertility rate.
Guangdong needs to strengthen the study of population issues. Through the establishment of a sound population monitoring system and analysis mechanism, we can grasp the trend and characteristics of population change in a timely manner, and provide a scientific basis for policy formulation. At the same time, Guangdong also needs to strengthen cooperation and exchanges with other regions to jointly explore new paths and models of population development.
In general, Guangdong, as a double miracle of population and fertility, not only reflects its unique economic and social charm, but also faces future challenges and opportunities. We look forward to Guangdong's continued development as a populous province and its potential as a province with a large population and make greater contributions to China's economic and social development. In this process, each of us is a witness and participant, let us look forward to a better tomorrow in Guangdong!
