According to the data of seventh census, the CBN reporter found that the three provinces with the highest proportion of the labor-age population aged 15-59 are Guangdong, Beijing and Zhejiang. Among them, Guangdong was 68.80%, 5.45% higher than the national level.
On the other hand, Shantou and Jieyang in the east of Guangdong and Maoming in the west of Guangdong have a relatively high birth rate, although there are many outflows. Among them, the birth rate in Shantou in eastern Guangdong reached 13.2‰, in Jieyang in the Chaoshan region, 12.86‰, and Zhanjiang in western Guangdong reached 12‰.
Peng Peng, executive chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Economic Reform Research Association, analyzed that:
Like Chaoshan in the east of Guangdong, Zhanjiang in the west of Guangdong and other places, they attract less foreign population. Their population growth is mainly natural growth. The willingness to bear children in these places has also declined in recent years. However, due to the influence of traditional childbearing culture, the willingness to bear children in these places is still relatively high compared to other areas.
