Population security is not a traditional definition of security. Chinese population security has already been in a worse trend. The paper discussed both the definition of population security and the relationship between the population security and the national security. The security of population development basically is one of the structural and periodic population security problems. Based on the literature review the paper got several judgments through analyzing the relationship between the population and the environment, resources, society and economics. In the end, the paper pointed out that in order to maintain and improve the population security the principles of people oriented, overall coordination and sustainable development should be emphasized in the coordinating process of population and development. The coordinating process includes six kinds of relationships which are the relationship between the population size and population structure, the relationship between the male and the female population, the relationship between the young and the old population, the relationship between population at present and population in the future, the relationship between family population and society population, the relationship between the population inside the area and outside the area.
