Under certain political and economic conditions, the larger the population, the greater the scale of education needed. Therefore, the high population growth inevitably requires expanding the scale of education. On the contrary, population decline will also affect the scale of education development.
There are two kinds of influences of population quality on education quality: direct influence refers to the influence of students' current level on education quality; Indirect influence means that the quality of the older generation affects the quality of the new generation, thus affecting the education quality of schools aiming at the new generation.
Population structure includes natural structure and social structure of population. Natural structure refers to the age and gender of the population; Social structure refers to the class, culture, occupation, region and nationality of the population.
