Population. Tongliao City Development Strategies

A sustainable, stable and coordinated society must be the one in whichthe population, the society and the economy suit to one another. Thestrategy for the population plays an important role in the sustainabledevelopment of the society and relates closely to the sustainabledevelopment of the economy, the resources and the environment. In a word,it has a great effect on the sustainable development of the whole society.The development of the population can be a crucial segment for thesustainable development of the whole society.Because of the carrying out of the family planning since the lateeighties of 20th century, China has succeeded in controlling its risingpopulation. The enforcement of the family planning strategy in Tongliaohas also bore fruits, the natural rising rate of the population had droppeda lot from 22.7% in 1949 to 5.89% in 2005. Surely there are some problemsthat need our more efforts such as the aging tendency of the population,the unreasonable sex ratio, and the low literacy owing to unbalancedconstruction of cultural development etc.The reasons that lead to such terrible situation would be the ones asthe following. Firstly, Tongliao locates in a region which geographicaland natural surroundings are inferior to the other parts in China. Secondly,it's backward in social economy and other undertakings. Thirdly, theliving standard of locals is too low. Fourthly, the people in rural areasare still holding the idea that girls are always inferior to boys. Fifthly,the education costs are still too high etc. The problems lying in theconstruction of the population in Tongliao directly influence thesustainable development of local society and economy. And what's more, the lagging behind of educational undertakings in rural areas and theilliterate labor population are obstacles in the building of New Rural Area.The draining of labor forces in rural and pastoral areas are detrimentalto the development of local agricultural and pastoral industries. Theeducational institutes for the nationalities are less and less. In a word,if the problems existing in the development of the population cannot besolved completely, they will hinder the people of rongliao from buildingthe harmonious society in this region.In order to make the development of the population in Tongliao meetthe needs of the situation, the thesis put forward several proposals suchas paying more attention to education so as to cultivate more local talentsand attracting human resources from other parts of the country to developlocal economy, and as a result, the living standard of local people willarise. The local resources should be made the best to develop the mainenterprises and reorganize and readjust industries structure to set upmodern enterprises. More attention should be paid to the impact of ITindustry on the regional economic and cultural development. At the sametime, being directed at the unreasonable sex ratio, the localadministration ought to change these outmoded common practices in generalway by promoting its publicity onthis aspect and reinforcing the rule oflaw, so the preparation of setting up a harmonious society in Tongliaocan be made.
