Prioritizing Health and Supporting High-quality Development of the Population
High-quality population development is a solution to the current situation of insufficient coordination between the new normal of population development and socio-economic development in China.In particular,in the face of the real contradiction of the deepening of population aging and the gradual expansion of the size of vulnerable groups,the improvement of health quality has a more urgent practical need than other population quality progress.Based on the core goal of high-quality population development,this paper systematically explains how health quality,as the basic element of the overall quality of the population,supports and promotes the coordination between population and socio-economic development,and alleviates the potential contradiction between the current population transition and sustainable socio-economic development from the theoretical,practical and application levels.Firstly,from the theoretical and empirical level,based on the demographic dividend theory,the relationship between health,demographic dividend and socio-economic development is explored.Secondly,from the practical level,the health risks and challenges that affect the high-quality development of China's population and its coordination with socio-economic development are analyzed;Thirdly,from the application level,countermeasures and suggestions are proposed to enhance population health capital to support the high-quality population development and coordinate population and socio-economic sustainable development.The study suggests that the health quality of the population must be placed at a strategic priority in the high-quality development of the population.It is necessary to improve a health service system that is compatible with the needs of socialist modernization and high-quality population development,optimize resource allocation,strengthen the prevention and control of major diseases and health risk factors and enhance the population's ability to resist health risks,and it is also necessary to improve the health quality of the population,systematically extend the healthy production time of individuals and improve the overall labor productivity,alleviating the potential contradiction between the new situation of population development and socio-economic sustainability and achieving the goal of Chinese modernization.
