Analysis on the Composition of Urban Population Growth in China between 2011 and 2020
Using data from China's national population census,the 1％National Population Sample Survey and other relevant statistical sources since 2010,the article examines the composition of urban population growth in China from 2011 to 2020.The results show that China's urban population continues to increase,yet at a declining rate.During the study period,56％of the urban population growth comes from rural-to-urban migration,26％from changes of administrative divisions,and only 18％from natural growth of urban population.Therefore,population migration still dominates China's urbanization.The composition of urban population growth has not changed fundamentally,but the contributions of the three sources of urbanization tend to converge.The dominant role of migration begins to weaken,while the influence of natural population growth and that of growth from administrative division changes increase subsequently.It is of great significance to grasp the dynamics of urbanization as to promote the high-quality development in China in the new era.
