population structure change -that is the complex effects of economic development and education on fertility rate, the uncertainties and inaccuracies in urbanization rate statistics, and various public trust in science and public support for population health measures will all impact the fertility, migration, and mortality of a population.

In the context of approaching the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, the uncertainties in population research and the reasons behind them put forward challenges to social governance and provide important opportunities for us to make changes. To deal with these internal and external challenges of population research, it is urgent to review and further explore the complementarities between economic development and population development and to improve global policy, institutional support structures, and dynamic evaluation. Timely adjustment, innovations, and perfection of population health strategies are needed, especially for females, older adults, floating populations, and populations with disability. doi: 10.46234/ccdcw2021.156
