(1) Current situation: ① The population base is large, with a large annual increase. Compared with some developed countries, the age composition of the population is relatively young, but it is changing from young to adult. ② The proportion of rural population in China is significant; Uneven geographical distribution of population; Poor population quality, such as genetic diseases, neonatal malformation and high incidence of mentally retarded children; People's Vl cultural quality is low, the proportion of illiterate and semi-illiterate is large, and the proportion of secondary school education or above is small, and so on. (2) Trend: The population will increase steadily in 2 1 century; The speed of population urbanization is accelerating; The speed of population aging is accelerating; The number of only children is increasing. (3) the influence of population status on preschool education: the rapid growth of population will bring many difficulties to the development of preschool education; Uneven population distribution will affect the balanced development of preschool education; With a large proportion of rural population, scattered residence and inconvenient transportation, it is difficult to popularize preschool education, especially in remote mountainous areas; Poor population quality and low education level will increase the educational burden; In addition, the situation that the only child in China will dominate the whole country in the future will have many special influences on preschool education. ?
