China Demographic Crisis: Too Many Boys, Elderly

Posted by Matt in April 26th, 2008

It has been three decades since China’s one-child policy was introduced as a temporary measure to slow the country’s population growth. But there’s rising opposition to the policy amid criticism that it’s creating another demographic crisis.

The trends are exemplified in the city of Shanghai, which has the lowest birth rate and the highest proportion of seniors in China.

As two-year-old Maomao and her 10-month-old brother Lulu play in a Shanghai park, little do they realize they’re a departure from three decades of strict family planning. Although many rural Chinese have two children, China still limits most urban families to just one child.

Dangerous Demographics
Over the next few decades, the developed world will age and weaken. Meanwhile, demographic trends in the developing world-from resurgent youth booms in the Islamic Belt to premature aging in China and population implosion in Russia-will give rise to daunting new security threats. While some argue that "global aging" is pushing the world toward greater peace and prosperity, a crisis looms in the 2020s. The risks of both chaotic state collapse and neo-authoritarian reaction are rising. Neither the triumph of democratic capitalism nor a "geriatric peace" are the most likely outcomes. The demographic trends of the 21st century will challenge the geopolitical idealism of both the right and the left. In a wide-ranging analysis of the dynamics of population and power, Richard Jackson and Neil...

March Past - Independence Day of China [50th Anniversary]
Independence Day or National Days are perhaps the most important day for a nation to honor as a national holiday. For many nations the date of Independence Day may be of a battle fought to gain freedom or the birth of a national hero who helped the country in its struggle for independence. The Chinese celebrate their Independence Day on the 1st of October every year, marking the foundation of the People's Republic of China. The Central People's Government passed the Resolution on the National Day of the People's Republic of China on December 2, 1949 and declared October 1 as the National Day or Independence Day of China. China, a cultural state and ancient civilization in East Asia, is one of the world's oldest leading civilizations, consisting of states and cultures dating back more than...

Dr. John Tanton Topic 9: Demographic Momentum
In September, 2006, Dr. John H. Tanton was interviewed by George A. Colburn. This topic includes a discussion of demographic momentum (also referred to as population momentum), where populations continue to grow even after replacement level fertility is reached. This is due to the younger topic of the population entering their childbearing years, so the population continues to grow for approximately a generation. Dr. Tanton discusses China's one-child policy and India's lack of such a policy - India has yet to make this demographic transition.

One Child Policy - China
August 2005 China's controversial one child policy has stemmed population growth but at what cost? From forced abortions to heavy fines, many have suffered. "If people tried to have a second child and didn't have any money, they'd have their house pulled down," complains Liu Shuling. She attracted the wrath of local officials and was heavily fined when she became pregnant a second time. "It was very hard," she recalls. "Fortunately, we didn't starve to death." For the past twenty-five years, controlling population growth has been a major priority for the Chinese government. "Unless there is a containment of population, there will be no economic growth, no social stability or social harmony," explains official Siri Tellier. But there's real concern that this policy has created a...

MALAYSIA: Advertisers ordered to drop models with non-Malay faces Government reasons that non-Maylay models belittle local models South China Morning Post Wednesday, February 7, 2007 By Bardan Kippusamy Kuala Lumpur --- The Malaysian modelling and advertising industries are in shock after the government announced it was reviving a ban on the multiracial Asian faces that dominate billboards and magazines. Information Minister Zainuddin Maidin said yesterday that models with so-called "pan-Asian" features were not representative of Malaysian demographics. "Using pan-Asian faces means downgrading local faces," he said. "We have to give priority to models with local...

Villages Amidst the City (Part1)
http://www.sellegr.com This movie was created in Fall 2005 to explore and elucidate the relationships and spatial characteristics of urban villages in Shenzhen China. The movie is divided into two acts: the city and the villages. The city part opens the movie and is used to reveal the modern and hectic nature of new Chinese cities, creating contrasts and setting up comparisons between the city and the villages. The village part is subdivided into five sections: background information, street, alley, interior, and rooftop. The background information provides geographic and demographic information, while the latter four sections represent the four main spaces of the urban villages. The movie examines in detail the spaces, the activities, and the people living in the villages. A...

Eating Global Vancouver - Green Lettuce Restaurant
This film is the first in a series of short films created about "Eating Global Vancouver" by students taught by Prof. Henry Yu of the History Department at the University of British Columbia, with help from award-winning filmmaker Karin Lee, and initially shown at the Asian Library at UBC as part of Asian Heritage Month in May 2006. Using restaurants as the focus for exploring the complex interactions of Vancouver and its migrant populations, this series uses food to examine how we come together as a global city. Green Lettuce, a restaurant run by an ethnic Chinese family from India, serves Chinese food in Vancouver as Chinese restaurants would in Bombay or Calcutta, attracting a loyal following of Indian immigrant customers who find a unique reminder of home. This film series grew out of...

Business Experts predict trends in emerging economies
In this business tv show, international business experts Stephen Philips, Chief Executive, China-Britain Business Council, Ian Coleman, Partner, Head of emerging markets, PricewaterhouseCoopers UK, and Chris Runckel, President, Runckel and Associates, talk about looking beyond the balance between risk and reward, because there's a great deal more to choosing the best destination. Ian Coleman: People often ask me what is the next hot destination and the next hot emerging market and I don’t think there’s a simple answer to that. Why? Largely because of something I said earlier about the need to balance risk and reward. It’s relatively easy to look at that on one dimension and say which of those high risk countries, where’s the highest physical risk, a lot of people look at that....

Burma Travel Doc Part 01
Burma, officially the Union of Myanmar is the largest country by geographical area in mainland Southeast Asia. The country is bordered by the People's Republic of China on the northeast, Laos on the east, Thailand on the southeast, Bangladesh on the west, India on the northwest, the Bay of Bengal to the southwest with the Gulf of Martaban and Andaman Sea defining its southern periphery. One-third of Burma's total perimeter, 1,930 kilometers (1,199 mi), forms an uninterrupted coastline. Burma's diverse population has played a major role in defining its politics, history and demographics in modern times, and the country continues to struggle to mend its ethnic tensions. Its political system remains under the tight control of the SPDC, the military-led government, led since 1992 by Senior...
