Abstract Continuous development is the right choice for China in the 21st century. China is a country of a large population. Population itself is not equal to human resources,for it possesses characters that are nonproductive and economic in nature with both positive and negative elements.In the course of continuous development we must attend to problems concerning continuous development of human resources.For this end setting up measures for population control and improving quality of the population are far from enough. It involves research work in such disciplines as physiology, biology, genetic engineering,medicine,education, psychology,sociology,personnel management and so on.
