ABSTRACT: From the perspective of long-term equilibrium, the
proportion of a region’s economy and population in the country should roughly
be equal. In this paper, the quotient of GDP proportion and population
proportion is defined as R, whose
value and characteristics of volatility accurately reflects the feature of
distribution and equilibrium between economy and population. By using GIS
visualization technology, this paper finds that the economic and demographic
distribution in Chins is still far from matching currently, with a trend of
polarization between east and west. However, from 2000 to 2015, the matching
degree of economy and population at the national level is actually on the rise.
This paper then divides apart the economic factor and demographic factor that
cause the R value to change, and
comes to a conclusion that the status between the economy and the population in
most provinces is affected by economic factor to a greater extent, and the role
of population factor is relatively minor.
