摘要
思想和工具在人口学研究中都不可或缺:思想是对自然规律和社会规律的认识逻辑,是对自然现象和社会现象的解释范式;工具是沟通主观认识与客观世界的桥梁。但是,在中国的人口问题研究中存在两个问题:一是思想的贫困,二是"工具陷阱"。这造成了虽然每年都有大量的研究文献,却鲜有人口理论的建树的局面。另一方面,进入后转变时期的中国人口新常态已经确立,人口与社会经济发展的关系正在发生着转折性、系统性的变化,这给人口研究带来了新的发展契机。中国人口问题研究和理论创新不仅要求我们必须克服思想贫困和工具陷阱这两大障碍,同时也需要解决几个关键性的认识问题。
Both ideas and tools are essential to demographic research.Ideas are the logical cognition of the laws of nature and society,and paradigms for interpreting natural and social phenomena;Tools are bridges connecting subjective cognition and the objective world.There are two problems hindering the development of demographic research in China:the'poverty of thought'and the'trap of tools'.This leads to the result of large amount of research literature with scarcely ever major theoretical achievements.On the other hand,a'new normal'of Chinese population has been established in the post-transition period.The relationship between population and the development of social economy is now coming to a systematic turning point,which has brought new opportunities for the development of demographic research to some extent.To make innovation in theory and practice in this area,academics must overcome not only the two obstacles but also some key cognitive problems as well.
