摘要
通过回顾中国高等教育发展历程,基于高等教育与经济发展关系计量模型和人口预测队列要素法,对2020—2035年中国18~64岁高等教育人口规模进行估计和预测,探讨中国高等教育历史发展进程、现状特征与未来发展态势.目前,中国高等教育毛入学率已超过60%,预计到2035年达到75%.在未来人口负增长、老龄化加剧的背景下,中国18~64岁高等教育人口数量及比例将呈快速上升趋势.2020年18~64岁高等教育人口规模为2.1亿,2029年将超过3亿,2035年将达到3.7亿.18~64岁高等教育人口占该年龄段总人口比例由2020年的23%上升至2035年的43%.到2035年,年轻年龄组中高等教育人口占比将上升到70%,而在老年年龄组的占比也将超过10%.最后,基于中国高等教育人口规模与趋势预测结果讨论了相关政策启示.
Abstract
By reviewing the development history of higher education in China and using econometric models of the relationship be-tween higher education and economic development,along with cohort component methods for population forecasting,this paper estimates and predicts the scale of the higher education population aged 18~64 in China from 2020 to 2035. It explores the his-torical development process,current characteristics,and future development trends of higher education in China. Currently,the gross enrollment rate in higher education in China has exceeded 60% and is expected to reach 75% by 2035. Against the back-drop of negative population growth and an aging population,the number and proportion of the higher education population aged 18~64 will show a rapid upward trend. The higher education population aged 18~64 was 210 million in 2020,will exceed 300 million by 2029,and will reach 370 million by 2035. The proportion of the higher education population aged 18~64 in the total population of this age group will rise from 23% in 2020 to 43% in 2035. By 2035,the proportion of the higher education popula-tion in the younger age group will rise to 70%,while in the older age group it will exceed 10%. Finally,based on the results of the scale and trend predictions of the higher education population in China,relevant policy implications are discussed.
