马寅初的人口质量观及其现实意义——纪念马寅初诞辰120周年

注重人口质量是马寅初人口思想对马尔萨斯人口论的实质性超越.马寅初关于人口质量的观点主要体现于:人口质量与人口数量是对立的统一;在新时代,人不在乎多,而在乎精;人口质量的提高是德、智、体全面的提高和全民的提高;提高人口质量不能离开本国国情.在现代化进程中我们重温马寅初关于提高人口质量方面的有关观点和主张,有助于我们处理好提高人口质量与稳定低生育水平、保护资源环境、提高农民收入等方面的关系.

Ma Yin-chu's View on Population Quality and Its Practical Significance In Commemoration of His 120th Birthday

Emphasizing on the quality of population, Ma Yin chu's thought of population essentially surpasses the Malthusian population theory. Ma Yin chu's point of view mainly maintains that: population quality and population quantity is a unity of opposites; population quality is more important than population quantity in the new age; the improvement on population quality is an overall improvement of the whole nation; the improvement on population quality cannot be separated from the current condition of the country. In the progress of modernization, a review of Ma Yin chu's viewpoints and ideas on population quality improvements may help us appropriately handle the relationships between improving population quality and stabilizing low birthrate, protecting resources and the environment, and raising peasants' income, etc.
