Research on the Construction and International Evaluation of Population Quality Development Index
In the past half century,the population situation of both the world and China has undergone tremendous changes.The use of a scientific and concise indicator system to evaluate the high-quality develop-ment status and trends of the population is necessary for China and the world to jointly respond to the huge social and economic impact brought by the new normal population situation.In the context of the development of Chinese path to modernization,the basic theoretical connotation of high-quality population refers to the total amount,quality,structure and distribution of population and other factors that strongly support the develop-ment of modernization and realize the overall development of mankind itself.The study uses expert consulta-tion and entropy weighting methods to construct a high-quality population development index from two dimen-sions:population modernization development and comprehensive human development,and five sub dimen-sions,a total of 12 indicators,are selected to construct the high-quality population development index.Empir-ical research shows that the final weight coefficients for population quality,population economic development,quality of life,livable environment,and shared development for all are 0.398 9,0.299 6,0.102 8,0.130 5,and 0.068 2 respectively.Based on this,the study calculates the high-quality population develop-ment of countries and regions with available data worldwide,resulting with Ireland ranking first and China ranking the 46th.The average population quality development index from high to low is Europe,Oceania,North America,South America,Asia and Africa.The level of high-quality population development in devel-oped countries is generally higher than that in developing countries and the least developed countries.The study believes that the constructed population quality index has a certain degree of differentiation from existing international related indicators,reflecting the independent discourse of population quality and Chinese path to modernization.The key issue of regional imbalance in the high-quality development of the world's population remains the economic problem.The population quality and population economic development are the relative advantages of China's high-quality population development.
