Abstract

The article is devoted to an actual problem, which is characteristic of modern actively developing China – the strengthening of differentiation in internal demographic development. Such differentiation is reflected in significant differences between regions in trends of natural reproduction of the population, internal migration and process of urbanization. Negative social and economic consequences caused by differences in demographic trends are the important scientific and practical problem for the Chinese Government that considers the demographic resources as the main factor for further development. The purpose of the research is to determine the factors and assess the level of demographic differentiation of Chinese regions. The main hypothesis of the research is the thesis that the intensification of unevenness of demographic development in different regions (provinces and cities) is caused by two interrelated factors: accelerated growth of China’s national economy and consequences of the «One family – one child» policy, which took place until 2015. The author characterizes the conditions for demographic differentiation in China, estimates the level of demographic differentiation, and studies the differences in natural and migratory growth in Chinese provinces. Under the research, the place and role of some cities and provinces on the demographic and economic map of China are also considered.
