Outline of Final Research Achievements

In China, population is fluidizing including movement of the working population from rural areas to the urban areas accompanying economic development and the movement of pregnant women from the urban areas that accomplished economic development such as Beijing and Shanghai to Hong Kong in order to escape from the strict punishment system of one-child policy . Such population flow has already become international, and it is expected that the scale will further increase in the future, but full-scale investigation on the magnitude of the influence on neighboring countries has not been done yet. In this study, we conducted empirical investigations focusing on one-child policy on relationship among China's economic development, population control and global population migration and predicted long-term influence on neighboring countries.
