2.1 Shanghai Municipality:

Ø Shanghai’s demographic situation is characterized by factors such as the large scale of population, the increasing floating population, the relatively low level of education and well-being, the ageing of the population, its uneven population distribution, and so on.

Ø In order to solve the demographic problems and to promote social and economic development, the Shanghai government has made a series of important policy decisions concerning family planning, employment, social security and population distribution.
