Tianjin Unveils a New plan for High-quality Population Development

A report from en.tj.gov.cn Aug. 12th, 2026：

Tianjin has unveiled a new plan for high-quality population development, setting clear targets for population size, talent, public services, and urban development through 2030.

The plan comes as Tianjin faces the challenges of an aging population and declining birth rates. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), the city's permanent population remained stable at around 13.63 million in 2025, while its registered population grew by 604,000 over five years.

To support high-quality population growth, Tianjin will focus on six key areas, including improving education and healthcare, strengthening support for childbirth and childcare, expanding elderly care services, and attracting and developing skilled and young talent.

The city will also optimize population distribution, enhance the development of Binhai New Area, and improve the allocation of public resources based on population changes.
