人口变动与教育资源需求预测：以北京为例

伴隨著我國改革開放和社會經濟發展，人口在城鄉之間、城市之間大規模流動。人口城鎮化率不斷上升。北京作為城鎮化過程中的主要人口流入地，在提供均等化的義務教育公共服務方面，面臨著極大的挑戰。加之“全面二孩”政策、及“非首都功能疏解”等相關政策的實施，為北京基礎教育階段的學位需求情況帶來了更多的不確定性。從這些實際問題出發，本書將著重討論以下兩個問題：1. 基礎教育階段適齡人口的預測方法與北京市及各區2010年至2027年基礎教育階段適齡人口的預測2.基礎教育資源需求的預測方法與北京市及各區基礎教育2010年至2027年教育資源需求的預測。本書的創新之處在於：1.對學齡人口預測與教育資源需求預測的方法進行了改進，提高了預測的科學性。2.將學齡人口的預測應用於北京市及其各區，以往的研究多集中於國家或者省級層面，對一個城市及其內部各區縣的預測並不多見。3.將人口預測與教育資源需求預測相結合 ...
