Research On The Changes Of The Floating Population At The Border Of Inner Mongolia

Inner Mongolia autonomous region is located in the north of China’s border,with a land border of 4200 kilometers.It is adjacent to eight provinces in the East,West and south,and borders Mongolia and Russia in the north.It is an important window for China to open to the north,and also an important node of China-mongolia-russia economic belt.Its location advantage is very prominent.In recent years,with the promotion of "One Belt And One Road" strategy,border areas,as the link between countries,play an increasingly important role of strategic connection points.A profound understanding of the characteristics and development status of the floating population in Inner Mongolia since 1990 is of great practical significance to accurately grasp the changes of the external environment and the new situations,new problems and new challenges faced by the stable development of China’s border areas.This paper consists of eight chapters.The first chapter is the introduction,which mainly introduces the background and significance of the topic,the relevant dynamics of the research topic,the research object,content,methods and data,innovation and deficiency,and the definition of related concepts.Based on the data of the fourth,fifth and sixth national population census,chapter 2 to chapter 4 analyze the characteristics and changes of the floating population in the border of Inner Mongolia.Chapter 5 further analyzes the development status of the floating population in Inner Mongolia border and the influencing factors of its residence intention based on the dynamic monitoring data of national floating population in 2017.Chapter 6 discusses the causes of the border population flow in Inner Mongolia based on the data of the sixth census and the field survey,and expounds the influence mechanism of the border population flow in Inner Mongolia.chapter 7 is the main conclusion and thinking of this paper.The main conclusions of this paper are as follows:First,the changing characteristics of the floating population in the border of Inner Mongolia:(1)the size of population inflow continues to grow,but the growth rate has slowed significantly;(2)the trend of sex ratio on the high side continues to increase;(3)improved education level;(4)intra-provincial inflow dominated,inter-provincial inflow as a supplement,but inter-provincial inflow of population proportion increased significantly;(5)the spatial pattern of the inflow population has changed greatly,and nearly half of the border counties have increased the spatial concentration of the floating population;(6)the center of gravity of the inflow population shifted to the southwest.Second,there is a significant difference in residence intention between the inflow population and the outflow population in the border of Inner Mongolia:(1)inflow population stays for a long time,the family trend is obvious but the willingness to integrate is low,and less than 40%of the population are willing to stay in the border area for a long time,and time of inflow,education level and the nature of residence are significant factors affecting long-term residence.(2)the outflow population’s residence time is long,the family trend is obvious,and the willingness to integrate is high,more than 60%of the population intends to live in the place of inflow for a long time.The time of inflow,the size of the family in the destination,the range of mobility,the age and the nature of household registration significantly affect the residence intention of the outflow population.Third,the influence of population flow on the border population of Inner Mongolia:(1)the population inflow rate is high,the inflow population is an important part of the resident population,three out of every ten people are floating population;(2)The influx of a large number of male population has affected the gender structure of the border population,with a high gender ratio;(3)The inflow of the more educated population has increased the level of education of the population in the border areas.Fourth,the influence mechanism of population flow along the border of Inner Mongolia:The low level of education and poor medical and health conditions are the main propelling forces for the border population outflow,while the prosperity of border trade is the main pulling force for the border population inflow.Developed transportation,higher income level,more educational opportunities and good medical conditions are the main pulling forces outside the border.However,low family income and difficulty in finding stable jobs are the main driving forces for the continuous flow or return of population.
