Research on the coupling and coordination of geo-economy and population resources:A case study of the Northeast Asia Region
Population resources have become a central element in regional development and in-ternational geo-economic competition.With the increasing prominence of population resource issues globally,exploring the coupling and coordination relationship between geo-economics and population resources has emerged as a new research field.This study focuses on five North-east Asian countries:China,Japan,South Korea,Russia,and Mongolia.It employs the entropy weight method and coupling coordination degree model to quantitatively analyze the develop-ment levels of geo-economics and population resources from 1999 to 2020,as well as the cou-pling and coordination level between them.The findings indicate that while there is a general upward trend in the development levels of geo-economics and population resources among these countries,significant differences exist between them.China shows rapid and balanced develop-ment in both aspects,whereas Japan exhibits a weaker performance.South Korea,as a devel-oped country,maintains steady growth in geo-economics,with its population quality also show-ing a positive trend.In contrast,Russia and Mongolia experience slower development,with Rus-sia demonstrating a particularly fragile growth momentum.Regarding coupling and coordina-tion,Northeast Asian countries have undergone an adjustment phase and are currently in the ini-tial coordination stage,moving towards more coordinated development.However,the develop-ment of population resources significantly lags behind geo-economic progress.As of 2020,ex-cept for Mongolia,which shows synchronized development characteristics,the other countries exhibit a lag in population resources.Addressing these issues,the study proposes suggestions in three areas:enhancing regional innovation,building a regional community of shared interests,and alleviating regional population aging,to assist Northeast Asian countries in meeting the chal-lenges of coupling and coordination between geo-economics and population resources.
