我国五个民族自治区经济发展和人口变动研究

改革开放以来,内蒙古、广西、西藏、宁夏和新疆等5个民族自治区的经济社会都得到了有史以来的最快发展。但是,5个民族地区因历史和自然条件的差异导致发展的进程有所不同,其中内蒙古基础最好、发展最快,广西次之,西藏、宁夏和新疆等3个自治区的发展速度相对较慢。5个民族地区的经济和人口变动显示出3个不同队列特征,反映了决定经济社会发展的主导因素是那些影响国家和民族现代工业化进程的社会历史基础及自然地理等经济发展条件,而不是民族和人口因素。5个民族自治区的人口变动状况都直接反映了各个民族地区经济因素的作用结果,而生育政策对人口过程却没有显示出预期应有的关联性。

A Research on Economic Development and Population Change in Five Ethnic Autonomous Regions of China

Since the implementation of opening and reform policy,the economics in the five Ethnic Autonomous Regions of Inner Mongolia,Guangxi,Tibet,Ningxia and Xinjiang have been developing at historically high rate.However,the development paces in the five regions vary due to their differences in terms of history and natural conditions.Among the regions,Inner Mongolia enjoys the fastest development because its infrastructure is the best.Guangxi ranks second.Tibet,Ningxia and Xinjiang are relatively slow in economic development.The economic and demographic changes in the five regions have displayed a "three-tier" structure,reflecting the fact that it is not the ethnic factor or population but the social and historical infrastructure and geographic factors,which influence the industrialization process,that determine the economic and social development.The demographic changes in each of the five regions resulted directly from the economic factors at the region,while the family planning policy does not show the expected correlation to the demographic process.
