A Study of Depopulation in Liaoning, China
Abstract
As one of the most significant industrial provinces in China, Liaoning Province always plays a momentous role in modern Chinese history. For quite a few reasons, Liaoning Province has been facing the problem of depopulation in the past few decades. At the same time, this province has also been facing a severe issue of losing its local residents. It is commonly believed that the successive decrease in population in Liaoning Province is due to negative birth rates as a result of the one-child policy. However, the declining economy can be considered as the main reason for population migration in Liaoning Province, China. This paper is looking forward to discovering the reasons of depopulation based on the factors for total population and outmigration, based on analyzing the factors including reasons behind birth rates, and the drop off economy as “the eldest son of the People’s Republic of China” in the past decade.
