中国社会结构的变化及发展趋势

中国自周秦时期建立封建社会以后,2000多年来发生过多次王朝更迭,治乱兴衰,但中国一直是个农业国家,以农民和地主两大社会阶级为主体的社会阶级结构没有什么变化。1949年到1978年,中国社会结构仍然是农业国家的社会结构。真正发生历史性的大变迁是在1978年改革开放以后。总结和研究中国自改革开放以来社会结构的变化和发展趋势,有利于认识目前还在继续展开的中国社会转型和体制转轨的关系,有利于持续推进中国经济的发展和社会的全面进步。并通过人口结构、就业结构、城乡结构、社会阶层结构的变化来阐明中国社会结构的变迁。

On the Changes and Development of the Social Structure of China

Since the feudal society was founded in the period of the Zhou and Qin dynasties,China in the period of 2000 years saw many ups and downs of the dynasties but,as an agricultural country,its social structure with the farmer and the landlord as the two main classes remained almost the same.Great historical changes have taken place since the Reform in China in 1978. A study of the changes and development of its social structure will help have a better understanding of the continued social and systematic transition and transformation and will also help promote China's economic development and social progress.The changes of China's social structure can be interpreted through the changes of its population structure,employment structure,urban and rural structure and social strata.
