...China’s one child policy effects the families of China more than any of us in the United States could ever imagine. The policy limits the number of children that each couple may have. Many believe this to be unfair, and against their rights. China put this policy into effect in order to control its drastically increasing population. The policy has been enforced for more than three decades now, and has only recently under gone a few changes. The recent changes do now allow a couple to have two children, if at least one of the parents are an only child. Even though this opened a new door for many families, others are still in the same boat as before. This one child policy has effected China as a whole in so many different ways. One of these ways being it dropped China’s birth rate by 3.13 percent in the past three decades. This means the policy prevented roughly two hundred and fifty to three hundred million births. The policy has also caused china to have one of the most unbalanced sex ratios in the world, for males now greatly out number females. Another major effect that the policy had on China is a country is the over populated orphanages. This Chinese...

...fast. So the governor of China instituted the One-Child policy to restrict the growing population. This policy was introduced in 1979 and initially applied to first-born children in the year of 1979. After more than 30 years carry out, the main goal of this policy was achieved. Under the influence, the growth rate declines apparently. In the 1970s, China’s growth rate was 3 percent; in the mid-1980’s, it was 1.2%; and today, China’s growth rate is 0.7 %”( Jackson & Eleen, 2001). On the other hand, this policy also causes several adverse consequences, including high rate of old-age, increased abortion rate, unexpected change of sex ration. There is no doubt this policy’s affection which is obvious. Even though the Chinese government within the pressure of human rights improvement has relaxed the policy and makes this policy more humanistic but some of people still consider the one child policy impact China in a more negative way. Therefore, I will introduce how does one child policy impact towards Chinese society in the below. On the current situation, even the Chinese government makes lots of beneficial changes, this policy isn’t prefect yet. The opposite voice never stops. Some people on the Internet even states that this policy is inhumane and absurd, due to this policy restrict the human right. On the other hand, many people on the Internet refer that this policy is necessary and understandable. They consider one child policy is an effective...

...Avetisyan Essay #1 [Choice#2] The one-child policy is a population control policy that was introduced in 1979 to relive social, economic, and environmental problems in China. At the time the growth rate of China’s population was very high and the main purpose of the policy was to limit the large family units in the country to one child each. After implementing the policy, the government hoped to see reduction in the growth rate of its enormous population. Sometimes couples can have a second child only if their first was a girl or had disabilities. As of today, China’s government believes that their one-child policy will result in a wealthier, healthier and happier life for the people of China. After viewing the article, “Plight of The Little Emperors” and documentary, “China’s lost girls” I think the one-child policy implemented in China is not the right way to control over population. I believe that China’s one-child policy has been unsuccessful because it has caused health issues and gender imbalance. The first reason why I think the one-child policy has been unsuccessful is because it has caused health issues. Traditionally in the Chinese culture, the children take care of their parents when they are older. Since the one-child policy only allows them to have one child, they are willing to do almost anything so that child will be successful and support them in old age. By sacrificing themselves...

...The 4-2-1 Phenomenon The main purpose of this essay is to review the effect on how this structure has affected, affects and is a big challenge for China’s development. It all starts far back in 1979 when the one child policy was introduced. At first it was a measure aiming to control the rapid growth of the population, now the country is facing its consequences. (Dvorsky) By the midpoint of the century, more than a quarter of the Chinese population will be over 65. And it will be at this point in time (if not sooner) that young adults will face an unprecedented burden of care — what's been dubbed the 4-2-1 problem. China already has the world’s largest elderly population and it is expected to increase. Elderly people aged 60 and above will grow by 100 million in just 15 years (from 200m in 2015 to 300 by 2030). This argument in the increase of elderly people will lead to an increasing demand for services and expenditures related to health care, the cost of which will fall upon China’s only children. The one-child policy has created a situation in China in which there are too few young people to support a growing, aging population. This scheme basically stipulates that a child would bear the responsibility of providing to his/her grandparents (usually 4) parents as they cannot rely on siblings or other family members during their old age, himself and on top of that, his future family. Even with high savings rates, it seems unlikely that the younger generation will...

...Difference between China and Sub-Saharan in economic growth and development This essay will try to analyse the difference between China and Sub- Saharan region countries on the economic growth and development issue from an overall view. In order to contrast the different development and growth methods between china and a whole Sub-Saharan region of countries, the essay will introduce the solow model in order to simplify the analysis, because in order to conduct a precise research, too many factors need to be controlled, so introducing a model which can simplify but not change the fact is appropriate. The basic assumptions of the solow model remain unchanged in this essay because the first assumption of constant returns will stand as both China and Sub- Saharan countries are economy which are large enough “that the gains from the specialization have been exhausted” (D. Romer (2011), "Advanced Macroeconomics", McGraw–Hill, New York, 1996.). The second assumption which neglects other impacts on the economy development will be discussed in the later paragraphs like policy, population, human capital and so on. Figure 1.

...Sophy Huang DSOC Essay 5 Revision 9 April 2012 It’s time to change a manufacturing model In the last two decades, China’s economy has grown rapidly, becoming the world’s second largest economy after the U.S. China has gained this achievement by becoming the factory of the world and exporting cheap products to oversea markets. However, recently China has been losing its advantages in the export sector, which its economy is heavily reliant on. New data shows a visible slowdown in manufacturing in China and it’s time for China to reform its manufacturing model to resist this slowdown. Several factors caused this slowdown. First, China’s biggest advantage in the export sector, the cheap, seemingly unlimited supply of labor is gradually diminishing. The number of available workers is decreasing and the wages for these workers are increasing every year. Labor costs have begun to rise in China. The time for unlimited cheap labor is limited. As Michelle Loyalka (2012) points out in her article Chinese Labor, Cheap No More; most big cities are lacking an adequate work forces. The sharp falloff in the amount of labor is mainly due to the One-Child Policy. China started its One-Child Policy in 1978 and has prevented 300 million births from its implementation to 2000. This also means the One-Child Policy has reduced 300 million potential workers. Since the government today is still persistent on this policy, the sheer number of workers will continuously decrease. So, the advantage...

...Cause and Effect Essay China’s One Child Policy Can you imagine not having the option of having more than one child? Well this is the case in China. Due to the enormous increase in population, the Chinese government have decided that each family has the right of having only one child. Otherwise they will be punished. The decision has harmful consequences on the Chinese society. It affected the balance of male-female ratio. In addition, it caused the loneliness of the children. Moreover, it caused a shortage of young people. First, China’s one child policy affected the balance of female-male ratio. The number of the boys in China became much more than the number of the girls which led to unfortunate consequences. For example, it became hard for some of them to get married. In addition, the criminal activities increased since the number of boys is larger. Esther Dulfo states “This only child generation is now reaching adulthood. A child born in 1980 is now 28 years old, and China is beginning to realise the consequences of this demographic imbalance. Among 16-25 years old, there are nearly 110 boys for every 100 girls. Boys are having trouble getting married. And young men, particularly single ones, have more behavioural problems and commit more crimes than young women. ” Second, the children became lonely because they cannot have siblings which led to miserable effects. For instance, the children have weak...

...Yushen Lin C. Lynch Class Number: 1G What’s Chinese one-child Policy and what’s the influence As we all know, China is the most population country in the world. On this essay, we will focus on how Chinese Government do to prevent the population growth and keep their TDR (Total Dependency Ration) in an acceptable level, which is known for us about the famous Chinese one-child policy. Then we also keep an eye on these two important problems: Chinese imbalance Sex Ratio and Chinese horrible high abortion rate. Now, let’s see the picture list below: Indicators | China | World Average | Population mid-2013 (millions) | 1,357 | 7,137 | Projected Population mid-2050 (millions) | 1,314 | 9.727 | 2050 Population as a Multiple of 2013 | 1 | 1.4 | Rate of Natural Increase: RNI | 0.5 | 1.2 | Crude Birth Rate: CBR (Births per 1,000 population) | 12 | 20 | Total Fertility Rate: TFR | 1.5 | 2.5 | Crude Death Rate: CDR (Deaths per 1,000 population) | 7 | 8 | Percent of Population (15-49) with HIV/AIDS | <0.1 | 0.8 | Infant Mortality Rate: IMR (deaths <1 year of age per 1,000 live births) | 16 | 14 | Life Expectancy at Birth (Both sexes, in years) | 75 | 70 | Youth Dependency Ratio: YDR | 21.3 | 39.4 | Elderly Dependency Ratio: EDR | 12 | 12.1 | Percent Urban | 53 | 52 | As the picture shows to us the most highlight part of this table needs to be focused is that at this time Chinese population is about 19.6% in the whole world’s population.

The population of China is 1,354,040,000, which is confirmed by Chinese government in January 2013. China as the most populous country in the world has formulated a great national policy for population for population controlling, which is called One-Child policy, in 1970s last century. This great population policy has made big efforts on controlling Chinese population. Undoubtedly, One-Child policy has made historical contribution on the development of China in 34 years. Although Chinese One-Child policy controls the population growth effectively and contributes to Chinese economic development at the initial periods of implementing this policy, the One-Child policy still generates more and more negative impacts on current development in China.

...How do you account for India’s failure to demonstrate Chinese rates of growth? Over the past two decades, one of the most compelling economic stories has been the rise of India and China, two of Jim O’Neill’s “BRIC” countries (FT Magazine, 2010). Despite the implementation of different economic policies (Gupta, 2008) both countries have emerged as major economic forces in the global economy (Bosworth and Collins, 2007), most notably since 1980. Since then, India and China have experienced a significant reduction in poverty with China lifting 500 million out of social deprivation. According to the World Bank (2013), China has had an average GDP of 10% each year while India has seen her GDP double over a similar period. The countries are often compared due to their large population and geographical vastness as well as climbing from third world countries to major economic forces in a relatively short time. However, despite a significant increase in GDP, India has failed to demonstrate the same rates of growth as China. Although both countries were in a similar position during the early nineties, China’s GDP has increased 7 fold since this time; whereas India, although steady, GDP has doubled. The average annual rate is by 10% in China compared to 5-6% in India (see Figure 1). The purpose of this paper is to compare the rates of growth of India and China over the past 30 years and examine possible explanations for this phenomenon. The economies of these countries are...

It leads eight other European countries in the top 10 list. But the country is also a bit of a statistical anomaly because its status as a tax haven makes it a big draw for the wealthy and the retired rich. With an estimated population of 30,539, the country saw its population decline in 2011 by 0.12 percent, according the to CIA Factbook. Only around 8,000 people are citizens of the city-state. The proportion of Monaco’s population aged 65 and over is 26.9 percent, the highest in Western Europe, where the average is 16.5 percent, according to a 2011 study by research firm Euromonitor. The median age of Monaco’s population is 49.4 years, according to the CIA Factbook.

This essay will deal with luxury products, and more particularly with high-end jewellery from the French brand Cartier. These products will be launched within the Chinese market, as it is close to become the largest luxury market in the world. In order to make this project as successful as possible, this essay will be divided into two parts. On the one hand, we will be analysing the marketing environment of the Chinese market by identifying major market opportunities. Also, the selection of a suitable target market for Cartier jewellery products will be made, and we will recommend which aspects of the product’s international marketing mix strategy would require adaptation. On the other hand, we will critically examine the notions of standardization and adaptation of the international marketing mix. 1. Market selection & Cultural Research and Impact on International Marketing Mix Strategy a. Market opportunities: In order to justify the choice of the Chinese market for Cartier jewellery products, 4 market opportunities will be identified. The first three ones will be dealing with socio/cultural aspects whereas the last one will be rather based on an economic aspect.
