High-quality Population Development to Cultivate New Quality Productivity:Internal Logic and Practical Path
In recent years,China has run into a historical crossroads of demographic shifts and economic transitions.At the forefront of societal and economic progress,a pressing concern arises:how can we attain high-quality population development cultivating new quality productive forces?Regarding the population and productivity as our conceptual cornerstone,this paper aims to reveal the evolutionary patterns of such relationship across various societal and historical epochs.Theoretically,we propose three distinct relationships between population and productivity:in the pre-industrial era,the population trends oscillated within a growth-decline cycle;during the industrial revolution,the population and productivity interact structurally;and in the post-industrial age,the innovative transformation of demographic factors emerges as a key driver of productive growth..Guided by this theoretical logic,the paper investigates the theoretical origins of high-quality population development and constructs a framework aimed at fostering new productive forces through the enhancement of population quality.Utilizing this theoretical framework,the paper analyzes the fundamental essence of both high-quality population development and new productive forces,thereby formulating a practical logic.Specifically,high-quality population development serves as a robust foundation for the cultivation of new productive forces.The scale effect of a large population base steers the trajectory of emerging industries,while the innovation effect of a skilled and competent populace ensures continuous innovation and technological advancement.The structural dividend yielded by an optimized population structure enhances the efficiency of production factor combinations,propelling leapfrog growth.Finally,the concentration effect brought about by the rational distribution of the population fosters the optimal spatial allocation of production factors.Incorporating practical logic,this paper distills three operational principles for implementing concrete pathways:the principles of systemic coherence,comprehensive quality enhancement,and people-oriented development.These principles serve as guiding lights for specific initiatives aimed at advancing high-quality population development and fostering new productive forces.Emphasizing the theoretical and practical significance of"people"as the most dynamic factor in fostering productive forces,this paper sheds light on the role of population economics in promoting the development of new productive forces,aligning with the evolving demands of China's population and productive forces in the new developmental phase.
