Based on the building of an indicator system and coordination index model relating to population structure and economic development,the principal component analysis is used to examine the level of population-and-economy development in Shaanxi Province,and then the coordination model is used to study the province's coordination of population structure and economic development in 1990-2010.The results show that:in 1990-2002,C(P/E) was greater than C(E/P)——economic development blocked the benign development of population structure;but it was just opposite in 2003-2010.In general,the coordination of population structure and economic development in Shaanxi during 1990-2010 was at primary and moderate degrees.
