欧洲古典经济学派的人口-经济思想的现代反思——所谓“剩男”、“剩女”现象的经济学分析

在农村，人胜其地致使广大农民纷纷流向经济发达地区；在城市，尤其是居住在经济发展较快地区的适龄男女，似乎有趋向于不结婚或晚婚晚育的倾向。在经济不发达的广大乡村，多子多福的思想依然根深蒂固。如何理解人口和经济发展千百年间的纠缠？国内学界多采用西方人口-经济理论来解释中国人口-经济问题，既是如此，正本清源式地了解西方人口-经济学派的源头甚为必要。对目前经济发达地区里所谓的“剩男”和“剩女”现象，结合欧洲古典经济学派的理论，探索其背后的经济动因具有较大现实意义。

In our country,scholars tend to explain population and economic problems by borrowing the western theory on the relationship between population and economy,therefore it is important for us to have a clear understanding of the origin of the theory.It is of great significance to explore into the phenomenon of “man of excess” and “woman of excess” in the well-developed cities and the economic motivations behind it.
