Book Synopsis Demographic Developments in China by : China Development Research Foundation
Download or read book Demographic Developments in China written by China Development Research Foundation and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses current developments in China’s demography, and discusses the changes which should be implemented to bring policy into line with the current demographic situation. It argues that population planning, which was introduced in the early years of the People’s Republic alongside economic planning, including "the one child policy", is no longer appropriate. It considers the results of the 2010 census, which showed the very significant shifts that are occurring , including a declining rate of population growth, ongoing growth of the number of people in "the floating population", an increasingly imbalanced sex ratio among newborn children, and ongoing ageing of the population. Besides discussing population planning policy, the book also examines how policies in the fields of education, health, gender relations, child development in rural areas, and polices for the elderly and families should be adjusted to accommodate demographic developments.
Book Synopsis Contemporary Demographic Transformations in China, India and Indonesia by : Christophe Z. Guilmoto
Download or read book Contemporary Demographic Transformations in China, India and Indonesia written by Christophe Z. Guilmoto and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-12 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the profound demographic transformation affecting China, India, and Indonesia, where 40% of the world's people live. It offers a systematic, comparative approach that will help readers to better understand the changing social and regional recomposition of the population in these regions. The chapters present a detailed investigation and mapping of regional trends in mortality, fertility, migration and urbanization, education, and aging. Throughout, the analysis carefully considers how these trends affect economic and social development. Coverage also raises global, theoretical questions about the singular ways in which each of these three countries have achieved their demographic transition. As the authors reveal, demographic trends seem to be somewhat linear and anticipatable, providing Asia’s three demographic giants and their governments a formidable advantage in planning for the future. But the evolution of human mobility in China, India, and Indonesia, closely intertwined as it is with changing economic conditions, appears less predictable and ranks high among the major challenges to demographic knowledge in the coming decades. Offering an insightful look into the components, implications, and regional variations of a changing population, this book will appeal to social scientists, demographers, anthropologists, sociologists, epidemiologists, and specialists in Asian studies.

Book Synopsis Demographic Perspective of China’s Economic Development by : Cai Fang
Download or read book Demographic Perspective of China’s Economic Development written by Cai Fang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-17 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China is historically famous for its high demographic dividend and its huge working population, and this has driven tremendous economic growth over the past few decades. However, that population has begun to shrink and the Lewis turning point whereby surplus rural population has been absorbed into manufacturing is also approaching, leading to great change in the Chinese labor market. Will this negatively affect China’s economic growth? Can the "Middle-Income Trap" be avoided? What reforms should be made on the labor supply side? This book tackles these key questions. This book is a collection of 14 papers presenting the author’s observations, analysis, and opinions of China’s long-term economic development from the demographic perspective, while analysing real economic problems from the past and including policy recommendations. It provides a critical reference for scholars and students interested in Chinese economic development and demographic perspectives on economic development.

Book Synopsis China’s Economic Growth Prospects by : Cai Fang
Download or read book China’s Economic Growth Prospects written by Cai Fang and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China has grown rapidly since the reform initiation of the 1970s. China’s Economic Growth Prospects narrates the contribution of demographic transition to recent economic growth in China, and provides suggestions for ways in which it can sustain growth over the next few decades. The expert author provides reasons for the economic slowdown since the second decade of the twenty-first century; explores the challenges facing China’s long-term sustainability of growth with the disappearance of demographic dividend; and proposes policy suggestions. He concludes that, in order to avoid the middle-income trap, economic growth in China must transform from an inputs-driven pattern, to a productivity-driven pattern. Academics, researchers and students of economics and business, particularly those specialising in China, will find this book to be a useful resource. Investment bankers, journalists, politicians and policy makers will find the discussions of past experience and the future potential of the Chinese economy to be of interest.

Book Synopsis The Population of Modern China by : Dudley L. Poston Jr.
Download or read book The Population of Modern China written by Dudley L. Poston Jr. and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student~ interested in world populations and demography inevitably need to know China. As the most populous country of the world, China occupies a unique position in the world population system. How its population is shaped by the intricate interplays among factors such as its political ideology and institutions, economic reality, government policies, sociocultural traditions, and ethnic divergence represents at once a fascinating and challenging arena for investigatIon and analysis. Yet, for much of the 20th century, while population studies have developed into a mature science, precise information and sophisticated analysis about the Chinese population had largely remained either lacking or inaccessible, first because of the absence of systematic databases due to almost uninterrupted strife and wars, and later because the society was closed to the outside observers for about three decades since 1949. Since the end of the Cultural Revolution, things have dramatically changed. China has embarked on an ambitious reform program where modernization became the utmost goal of societal mobilization. China could no longer afford to rely on imprecise census or survey information for population-related studies and policy planning, nor to remaining closed to the outside world. Both the gathering of more precise information and access to such information have dramatically increased in the 1980s. Systematic observations, analyses and reporting about the Chinese population have surfaced in the population literature around the globe.

This book was released on 2019-01-27 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first article, "The Effect of Two-child Policy on China's Fertility by Song Jian discusses the effect of lifetime fertility and period fertility of Chinese women. She indicated the two-child policy has significant influence on the birth of the second child, but the influence has not been strong enough to revitalize the period fertility level. In "The Mechanism of Gender Imbalance and Governance in China: Perspectives of Population Transition and Policy Adjustment" Bo Yang and Shuzhuo Li found that fertility policy adjustments improve the governance on gender imbalance; aging policy adjustments lead the governance on gender imbalance to social governance; combined with urbanization policies, the governance on gender imbalance could develop a comprehensive policy system for both rural and urban communities.Wang Jianping and Ye Jintao discuss the growth, characteristics and patterns of International Emigrants from China. They review the migration policies in leading immigrants receiving countries, discuss the scale, the flow of movements, the composition, as well as the characteristic of emigrants from China.Does family migration promote the migrants' subjective willingness of community integration? Wu Fan, and Zhou Miao indicated that migrants' subjective willingness of community integration still stays at a low level. However, family migration has a more significant impact on migrants' subjective willingness of community integration due to emotional support effect. Li Jingbo, Gao Yuan and Yuan Xin's paper "The Research on the Migrant Population's Vocational Choice -Based on the Perspective of Segmentation for the Household Registration System" pointed out that the vocational choice of urban-to-urban migrants is better than rural-to- urban migrants and inhabitant migrants after divided migrants into rural-to- urban migrants, inhabitant migrants and urban-to-urban migrants. An invisible threshold in the labour market seems restrict the vocational choice of rural-to- urban migrants.In "Current Situation and Challenges of Health Poverty Alleviation of Provinces along the Silk Road: Findings from survey in Shaanxi, Gansu and Xinjiang." Weui Yan, Yan Qi and Gao Yingxia, based on the special survey data of 2017-2018, analyze the health status, multi-dimensional poverty and the implementation of health poverty alleviation policies in Shaanxi, Gansu and Xinjiang. They indicated that multidimensional poverty generally exists in rural households in the three provinces. Health statuses of the poverty-stricken households were poor, and the incidence of multidimensional poverty is high. The health infrastructure in Xinjiang is the worst. The seventh article, "A Study on the total Population and Structure of the Elderly Who Can't take Care for themselves in China."Wang Guangzhou uses the data of 1% population census and CFPS 2010 of Peking University to indicated that in 2015, the total number of elderly people aged 60 and above who can not take care of themselves was 5.76 million, 3.05 million elderly people without spouses living independently in China, the elderly people with one surviving child who can not take care of themselves exceed 1 million.Finally, we have a paper discuss Taiwan's population decline in the urbanization process. Chun-Ya Liu, De-Piao Tang and Chih-Sung Teng explore why some urban areas have developed better over time with population gradually increasing, while others' populations have been shrinking. What are the key determinants of urban development? They pointed out that it is mainly related to "rural decline." A total of 6 among 23 counties are shrinking, and that 60 localities present a "significant population decline" Furthermore, socioeconomic factors like the growth rate of the aging population, the successful transformation of the industry, and the convenience of transportation are the mains factors impact urban development.

Book Synopsis The Hope of the Country with a Large Population by : Xueyuan Tian
Download or read book The Hope of the Country with a Large Population written by Xueyuan Tian and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-24 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China has the largest population in the world. However, according to the United Nations, India and China are expected to simultaneously reach a population of approximately 1.38 billion by 2030, with India taking a slight lead. China will be all too happy to surrender its position as the country with the largest population. Where does this attitude come from? For China, this situation is symbolic of the solution to the excessive population and a milestone in the “Three-Stage” population development strategy, as well as the people’s hope. In order to realize this hope, it firstly depends on the transformation from the previous high birth rate, high death rate, and low growth rate of population, to a high birth rate, low death rate, and high growth rate, and finally to a low birth rate, low death rate, and low growth rate. It also relies on the “post-demographic transition” to a low fertility level since the 1990s, and secondly, is closely related to the population change in the future. Therefore, in-depth studies on population and the development of population, resources, environment, economy, and society should be conducted on the basis of fresh experiences and theories from the international community, in order to move forward with the times to promote the solution to the population problem and realize the dream of rejuvenating the Chinese nation. As a result, population change is linked to this great rejuvenation, as the great rejuvenation requires the population change and, in turn, the population change facilitates the great rejuvenation.
Download or read book Urban China written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2014-07-29 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last 30 years, China’s record economic growth lifted half a billion people out of poverty, with rapid urbanization providing abundant labor, cheap land, and good infrastructure. While China has avoided some of the common ills of urbanization, strains are showing as inefficient land development leads to urban sprawl and ghost towns, pollution threatens people’s health, and farmland and water resources are becoming scarce. With China’s urban population projected to rise to about one billion – or close to 70 percent of the country’s population – by 2030, China’s leaders are seeking a more coordinated urbanization process. Urban China is a joint research report by a team from the World Bank and the Development Research Center of China’s State Council which was established to address the challenges and opportunities of urbanization in China and to help China forge a new model of urbanization. The report takes as its point of departure the conviction that China's urbanization can become more efficient, inclusive, and sustainable. However, it stresses that achieving this vision will require strong support from both government and the markets for policy reforms in a number of area. The report proposes six main areas for reform: first, amending land management institutions to foster more efficient land use, denser cities, modernized agriculture, and more equitable wealth distribution; second, adjusting the hukou household registration system to increase labor mobility and provide urban migrant workers equal access to a common standard of public services; third, placing urban finances on a more sustainable footing while fostering financial discipline among local governments; fourth, improving urban planning to enhance connectivity and encourage scale and agglomeration economies; fifth, reducing environmental pressures through more efficient resource management; and sixth, improving governance at the local level.
