  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 26. The "Population Development in Xinjiang" white paper published by the Information Office of the State Council on the 26th pointed out that the population development in Xinjiang is in line with the universal law of population development in the world.

  The white paper says that Xinjiang’s population development, along with the process of industrialization, urbanization, and modernization, has experienced high births, high deaths, low growth to high births, low deaths, and high growth, and is changing to low births, low deaths, and low growth. It is the result of multiple factors including economic and social development, implementation of policies and regulations, and changes in the concept of marriage and childbirth. It conforms to the universal law of world population development.

  From the perspective of economic and social development, since the founding of New China, Xinjiang has made great achievements in various undertakings.

  From the perspective of the implementation of policies and regulations, China’s implementation of family planning has gone through the process of first inland and then frontiers, cities and then rural areas, and Han nationalities before ethnic minorities. The implementation of relatively loose policies for ethnic minorities is different from that of Han nationalities.

Xinjiang formulates family planning-related policies in accordance with national laws and regulations and combined with local conditions.

  From the perspective of the concept of marriage and childbirth, in recent years, Xinjiang’s concepts of marriage, childbirth, and family have been actively changed. Women’s economic, social and family status has been continuously improved.
