Abstract

The high-quality development of the population in border areas of Yunnan is crucial for promoting frontier prosperity and stability, achieving common prosperity, and advancing the modernization of border areas. Currently, these areas are experiencing expanding areas of population decline and a noticeable outflow of people from ethnic minority villages. They also face challenges such as low levels of education and health literacy, weak human capital, imbalanced age and gender demographics, and a significant influx of foreign individuals entering for employment without proper regulation. By advancing urbanization in key border towns and constructing economic belts in these border areas, this study aims to spearhead revitalization through industry, thereby fostering economic and social development in village and town communities. This will attract and encourage population return. Orienting towards high quality, we aim to enhance the functional influence of border ports, elevate the development level of border openness, and promote regional coordinated development, thereby creating a sustainable development momentum for Yunnan's border areas.
