2. What is the population of your country? What impact does the population have on the quality of life there?

In China, the population is 1.3 billion.
The growing populatiion has many aspects of impact on Chinses society such as pollutions, economy, traffice, food supplies, education, medicine, social securaty,and social welfare. Cities have become more crowd, and decrease the qulity of life. For example, in Beijing a route took around 40 minutes, but now it may take around 2 hours, because of traffic jam. It wastes our time, and our life is not that effecious.

3. Has there been a significant population shift in your country from rural areas to urban areas? If yes, what are the consequences?
 Yes. The population of cities grows fast, and some cities will be more crowd. A large part of labor went to cities, so these is not enough labor in rural areas. It is not good for our argriculture. Therefore, the disparity between rural areas and urban areas will be larger than before.
