The hollowing out of the rural population is one of the main reasons for declining rural areas. Studying the hollowing out of the rural population is of great significance in promoting the integrated development of urban and rural areas in the new era. This paper presents the mechanism of the rural development process and divides it into four stages: primary equilibrium, differentiation and divestment, decline or transformation, and urban-rural integration. This paper analyses the spatial and temporal evolution and driving factors of rural population hollowing out by analyzing spatial changes of 87 administrative villages in Ningxia with ArcGIS. The results show that: (1) the degree of population hollowing out is unevenly distributed spatially, with highly hollowed areas mainly concentrated in the north where transportation is convenient, and the hollowed areas develop over time from point to linear along transportation routes; (2) the degree of population hollowing out is increasing, but the rate has slowed down; (3) rural population hollowing is influenced by physical geography, basic service facilities, and socio-economic, changing over time.
