The Study On The Structure And Distribution Of Population And Industry In Yangtze River Delta

With the fast development of science and technology during these years, the social science has being our focus too. The society, economic and even culture are affected by the population distribution and structure of the area. So population is getting more and more eyes of the social scientists. Yangtze River Delta is one of the most important economic areas in China and is the focus of many social scientists too. There are 4049 papers about "Yangtze River Delta" in China in all from the year 2000 to 2008.It tells us that many scientists have focused on it. This paper supplies a study about the distribution and structure of population and industry of this area. And it gives some advice about the development of population and industry. Following are the structure of the paper.Firstly, some theories about city development and some of the study about population development of this area are introduced. Then, the data about population and industry is analyzed with some software such as Mapinfo and Micro office software. Furthermore there is some discussion on it. Furthermore, some problems and advice are brought forward according to the analysis and the experience of development of other big Megalopolis in the world.After the whole analysis, some conclusions are advanced: 1. the population is growing much faster than the whole country due to the ingoing from other areas growing much bigger. The increasing pattern has changed. The birth rate, mortality rate and natural increasing rate are all low, but there is much difference between different cities. 2. Low proportion of children and high proportion of elderly population is going on and the proportion of population at the labor age is higher than the average of the whole country. Generally speaking, labor force is adequate with an uncoordinated gender ratio. 3. The level of education and urbanization are both higher than that of the average of the country but the fast development of industry need a more reasonable structure of population. The rapid development of urbanization needs better urban management and urban infrastructures so that the urban management is facing new challenges. 4. The areas which attract more people are those which nearby the traffic line and around the big lake—Taihu. The immigration population can not match with the scale of the city that means some big cities are losing population rather than attract. On the whole, the industrial distribution of Yangtze River Delta region is getting better and better. The tertiary sector has become the most important part of the whole industry with the secondary industry following. The government is providing better development environment and policies. Although there are still some redundant construction and disorderly competition..
