{"product_id":"9789814520898","title":"Beyond Demographic Dividends","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book presents empirical observations and theoretical thinking of the fundamental changes in the Chinese economy. It starts with a warning of the arrival of the Lewis Turning Point, which is empirically proven by disappearance of surplus labor force and a rapid increase in wages of unskilled workers. It further reveals that China's rapid population-aging trend is diminishing the demographic dividend that has kept China's economic growth rate high. Subsequently, it touches upon employment challenges that arise after reaching the Lewis Turning Point, further propelling urbanization, a balanced regional development, and so on. Finally,  it introduces middle-income trap which is one of the biggest challenges China is facing, followed by recommendation of policies for the Chinese government to tackle the challenges ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book should be of great interest to graduates, undergraduates, researchers and specialists who follow closely the economic development and demographic transition of China, the world's most populous country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Arrival of the Lewis Turning Point:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Many Turning Points will China's Economy Experience?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinding the Arrival of the Lewis Turning Point and Its Policy Implication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended Reading: Demographic Transition, Demographic Dividend, and Lewis Turning Point in China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Disappearance of Demographic Dividends:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow China is Dealing with the Problem of “Growing Old Before Becoming Rich”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow China Responds to the Disappearance of Demographic Dividends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended Reading: Demographic Dividend: New Source of Economic Growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnd of the Unlimited Labor Supply Era in China:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Era of Unlimited Labor Supply Ends in China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe “Peasant Worker Shortage” Reflects the New Relationship of Labor Supply and Labor Demand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintaining Composure and Positively Responding to the Changes in Labor Relations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended Reading: Wage Increases, Wage Convergence, and the Lewis Turning Point in China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEmployment Challenges After Reaching the Lewis Turning Point:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased Urgency of Employment Challenges in the Long Term\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Implication of Wage Convergence in the Urban Labor Market\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromoting Healthy Development of China's Labor Market\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended Reading: Growing Pains: What Employment Dilemma Does China Face at Its Lewisian Turning Point?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFurther Propelling Urbanization and Balanced Regional Development:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAwareness of the “Mezzogiorno Trap” in the Central and Western Regions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFacts and Models about the Urbanization of Peasant Workers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Tale of Two Cities: Diversity in the Household Registration System Reform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended Reading: The \u003ci\u003eHukou\u003c\/i\u003e Reform and Unification of Rural-Urban Social Welfare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAvoiding the Middle-Income Trap:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintaining Sustainable Economic Growth Requires Giving Priority to the Development of Education\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to Deal with the Challenge of “Growing Old Before Becoming Rich”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Crux of the Continually Increasing Income Inequality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended Reading: Is There a “Middle-Income Trap?” China's Theories, Experiences, and Importance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Graduates, undergraduates, researchers and specialists who follow closely the economic development and demographic transition of China.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139927720176,"sku":"9789814520898","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814520898_p0.jpg?v=1763691461","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814520898","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
