Beijing's permanent registered population reached 11.706 million and the
total population of Beijing was expected to keep around 18 million by
2020.
July 23 - In the first half of this year, Beijing's population continued
to grow and its permanent registered population reached 11.706 million,
an increase of 2 per cent over the same period of last year and higher
than 1.5 per cent of the control goal set for this year, said Ding
Xiangyang, director of the Beijing Municipal Commission for Development
and Reform Thursday.
Ding deliver a report at the standing committee of the city's National
People's Congress on the implementation of the 2005 Beijing National
Economic and Social Development Plan for the first six months of this
year, according to Beijing Times.
Yin Zhigang, director of Beijing Population Research Institute, said
outsiders contribute the most to the population increase during an
interview with reporters. Around 1994, the growth rate of immigrant
population from other places was kept very low. However, in the recent
several years, the number of immigrants increased sharply.
The director said by 2020, the total population of Beijing would be kept
around 18 million, including 13.5 million permanent residents. In coming
years, the annual growth rate of registered population will be kept under
1.5 per cent, which will not be allowed to break through, as it is the
city's utmost bearing capacity. Accordingly, the control of population
growth will be an imminent task.
