Analysis of the Mechanism of Rural Population Change in the Context of Rural Revitalization

Abstract

The rural revitalization strategy is the first strategic plan for China to solve the Three Rural Issues in the new era, and realize the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. To further clarify the impact of rural revitalization strategy on rural population changes in China and provide theoretical support for the promotion of rural revitalization strategy. This study analyzes the mechanism of rural population flow through field survey and literature analysis, and constructs a theoretical basis for the trend of "reduction and increase" of rural population flow. This study concludes that the problem of rural population decline in China will persist for a long time, but that "increasing the flow" of rural population is an important element in promoting rural revitalization. Cracking the population constraints of rural revitalization by alleviating the "reduction” and strengthening the "increase the flow". Finally, this study proposes the following suggestions for further optimizing rural population development: (1) narrow the urban-rural gap and alleviating the "reduction" of rural population flow; (2) optimize the development environment and strengthen the "increase" of rural population flow; (3) enhancing service capacity to crack the rural elderly dilemma; (4) adjustment of administrative divisions and intensification of land use intensity.
