Abstract
The author analyzes recent population trends in China, based primarily on data from the 1982 census. "Starting from the historical population development the present distribution of the population is analyzed, which, owing to the country's nature, shows its highest density in the eastern part. The major part of all working people is still working in agriculture, but they increasingly migrate into other sectors of the economy. In order to reduce the increase in population since 1978...marriage with only one child has been propagandized as [a] strategic aim. Since that time several measures for family planning have been taken. An interesting geographical problem is the relation between urban and rural population, which is discussed in the article in view of the municipal classification of settlements."
