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

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.
