Business population is also called the occupied population can be defined as the people who are engaging in jobs and also getting paid when they are in the ages of being able to be employed. According to some standard of classifications, employment population is classified into different types of industrial population and occupation population.Since 1982, the general changing trends of occupation population in China's industry are as follows:The dimensions of occupation people has increased and decresed significantly at the same situation, the capacity of where those people are located has changed little. Firstly, different provinces have a high degree of differentiation and also many provinces have quite dramatic change in their rankings. Secondly, a large proportion of them has concentrated in the south and east China, as the mid-west and north China are relatively less compressed. However, the intensive and sparse degree has also been changed. Thirdly, it not only comes to a situation in which the population is relatively concentrated or sparse as they changed into each other conversely, but also there was a relatively stable pattern of centralization and decentralization of the gradient.The year of 1990 was a diving line. Before this line, the occupation population changes were stable and small. Beyond this line, the change became considerable, and had two important features. On the one hand, a surge change occurred in the occupation population. The primary industrial population moved to the north. The secondary and tertiary industrial population and four different catalogues of people (professionals & technical, clerks and related stuff, service personals and production or transportation staff) moved to the south. On the other hand, centralization and diversification, equalization and non-equalization went together. The occupation population and primary industrial population tended to be diversified and equalized while the secondary industrial and tertiary industrial population and four different catalogues of people tended to be non-equalized and centralized.There were many reasons behind these. Environment was the fundamental factor. Economy condition was the key factor. The difference between locations was the direct reason. Social influence was the significant factor of the difference. Historical factor also could be highlighted. Detailed speaking as follows:Overall, the occupation population was located in lower altitude or sea nearby districts. In addition, it also concentrated on the plain, river nearby and higher quality of arable land districts.Regional economy development affects the centralization of the occupation population. Moreover, it raised a strong impact on the secondary and tertiary industrial population and four different catalogues of people. Never the less, the implication to the primary industrial population was relatively weaker. For the ability of centralization, the primary industry was weaker than the secondary industry. The function of tertiary industry was unobservable.The population factor is the most directly implication to the occupation population. The regional distribution of the aging labored population was quite similar to the occupation population.Permanent assets and industrialization had the ability of increasing regional employed population.Multiple regressions indicate that 88.9% of the difference between regional Chinese employed population can directly identified by GDP per capita, the rate of migration and the distribution of water. Above 88.9% of the difference between regional secondary and tertiary industries can also be identified by those three factors while above 84.6% to four different catalogues of people. The proportion of resources and economy's contribution to the distribution is 65:35, which illustrates the elementary function of environment and the key function of economy factors.The non-equalization of distribution in Chinese occupation population objectively exists. But as a result of this, it dos not mean unreasonable. GINI coefficient and Theil index indicate that occupation population is in the coordination of the aging labored population, the whole population and the economy factors. In contrast, the coordination among land area, water area and whole effective factors is lower. It also represents although the non-equalization of Chinese occupation population is obvious, the distribution is reasonable.At the end of the essay, it asserted that locating regional occupation population was mainly to care about the internal rules; commenting on the distribution properly in order to avoid the so called "equalization is reasonable only".
