本文從世界人口變遷切入,分析出人類文明發展至今,在21世紀人類不再需要量的增加而是質的提升。孫中山人口論雖因時制宜的針對當時中國所的處環境提出對人口數停滯的憂心,但其變中不變的主張是重視人力素質,其亦重視人力的培養要符合當時社會的需求。本文分析20世紀中葉至今兩岸人口的變化趨勢與世界人口變化趨勢相一致。20世紀的中國,兩岸依靠人口紅利創造經濟奇蹟,但進入21世紀,要持續維持競爭力,兩岸需要人才紅利,且對創新型人才需求更具有急迫性。兩岸均意識到此一問題,重視教育投資,人民素質普遍提升,此點與孫中山人口論重視人力素質正相契合。但依本文分析,在21世紀,兩岸人民素質雖有所提升,但維持競爭力所需的創新型人才仍不足。此顯示傳統教育模式需要進行變革,此一變革應如何?兩岸均在摸索嘗試中。在摸索嘗試中,孫中山人口論正可為其中的精神內涵。
This paper analyzed the development of human civilization up until the present by examining global population changes, arriving at the conclusion that, in the twenty-first century, mankind no longer requires a quantitative increase but rather a qualitative improvement. Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s population theory had a time-appropriate focus on China’s stagnant population, and although the situation has changed, the emphasis on manpower quality as well as manpower cultivation in line with societal demand remains relevant. According to the findings of this paper, the trend of changes in populations across the straits from the middle of the twentieth century until the present is consistent with changes in the global population. In China, the two sides of the strait relied on demographic dividends to create an economic miracle during the twentieth century; in the twenty-first century, although both sides of the strait still require talent dividends to maintain competitiveness, there is also a pressing demand for innovation-based talents. Both sides of the strait have recognized this issue and have emphasized the importance of investing in education and raising literacy levels. This point is consistent with Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s population theory, which emphasizes manpower literacy. However, on the basis of this paper’s analysis, although both sides of the strait have raised their populations’ literacy levels in the twenty-first century, they still lack the innovation-based talents required to remain competitive, which suggests that the traditional educational model needs to change. How should this change occur? Both sides of the strait are still exploring and conducting trials. In doing so, Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s population theory may have a spiritual connotation.
