Annotated Bibliography: How New Trends in Population/Demography Affect China’s Economic Growth

Attané, Isabelle, and Baochang Gu. ANALYSING CHINA’S POPULATION: SOCIAL CHANGE IN A NEW DEMOGRAPHIC ERA. Springer, 2014.

The Book focuses on various new trends within China’s population, which will affect its demography, economy, and social structure. The population aging, for instance, has accelerated and the fertility rate has declined. The author suggests that data could be apocryphal; however, it still reveals that changes in population are of significant nature.

Information, about various kinds of changes within a population (of China), is recent and it will facilitate in projecting various outcomes that are affected by changes in demography. This book contains the most recent and pertinent information/evidence, more precise the inferences.

Cai, Fang. “HOW TO TACKLE THE SLOWDOWN OF POTENTIAL GROWTH RATE IN CHINA?” China Finance and Economic Review, vol.  3, no. 2, 2015, pp. 1-12.

The article asserts that China’s exceptional economic growth was strongly and positively influenced by the abundant supply of inexpensive labor. Since the demographics are changing, dividends of demography will also change; economy and society will be affected by changes in demography. As per assertion, the changes in demography are baleful, and these changes would affect China’ economy adversely (in the long term).

The article not only provides information regarding changes in demography and its ramifications for the economy and society, but also the research article offers remedies to the challenges that are being caused by changes in demography. It is essential to identify various remedies to the challenges that are posed by changing trends in demography.

China Development Research Foundation. DEMOGRAPHIC DEVELOPMENTS IN CHINA. Routledge, 2014.

China’s demography is changing at a considerable pace, which is affecting its economic growth and society. It is imperative that China’s central government reconsider its policies regarding demography to address challenges about economic growth and social progress. However, it would be difficult to introduce desired changes in demography with alteration in existing government policy (especially in the short-term).

The book not only provides evidence regarding rapid changes in demography but also suggests changes in policy that may affect both demography and economy. Understanding these changes, in demography, is essential to devise effective policies to mitigate challenges that are being caused by changes in demographic trends.

Chow, Gregory C. CHINA’S ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION. John Wiley & Sons, 2015.

Chow discusses in detail how changes in population are affecting 1) urbanization, 2) employment, 3) supply of labor, 4) Social Security, etc.

It is very detailed research, which records the effect of changes in population on a range of variables.

Fang, Cai. “CHINA’S ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN UNDER SUPPLY-SIDE PERSPECTIVE.” China Economist, vol. 11, no. 5,  2016, pp. 4-15.

As per the inference of the article, China’s the slowdown of economic progress (GDP growth) is because of changes in demography.

Guo, Rongxing. AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CHINESE ECONOMY: THE DRIVING FORCES BEHIND MODERN DAY CHINA. John Wiley & Sons, 2011.

The book focuses on sex ratio (in Chinese society), an aging population, fertility rate, urbanization, and role of the labor force in the labor-intensive economy (of China).

The information in the book will aid in understanding the changes, which are occurring in demography in detail.

Li, Hongbin, et al. “THE END OF CHEAP CHINESE LABOR.” Journal of Economic Perspectives, vol. 26, no. 4, 2012, pp. 57–74.

As the labor market is changing (supply of labor is shrinking), nominal and real wages are also altering, which will affect economic GDP growth and GDP per Capita.

It will provide information and evidence regarding changes in the cost of production because of the changes in demography.

Peng, Xizhe. “CHINA’S DEMOGRAPHIC HISTORY AND FUTURE CHALLENGES.”.” Science, vol. 333, no. 6042, 2011, pp. 581-587.

The study focuses on various demographic trends, in China, over the history. It provides a perspective on current changes in demography. Changes in demography affect economic growth, GDP per capita, and income per capita. Therefore, studying demography, in regular intervals is essential. In case of China, considerable changes are occurring in demography. For instance, the sex ratio in society has been affected adversely (because of the One Child Policy). In addition, the overall population rate has declined, which is a serious concern as it affects the labor market.

The changes, in demography, profoundly affect the economy and society. The changes, which are occurring in China’s demography, will alter economic and social landscapes in China. The article will assist us in comprehending the nature and size of these changes. We will also learn how these changes/challenges will affect China’s economy and society in short and long terms.

Tian, Xueyuan. CHINA’S POPULATION AGING AND THE RISK OF ‘MIDDLE-INCOME TRAP.’ Springer, 2017.

The changes in population trends, such as unusual growing aging population, will have a subtle but profound effect on China’s economy. As the population rate is decreasing and sex ratio in society has imbalanced, labor market, of China, will be affected strongly and adversely. The chances are the changes in population trend may yield, middle-income trap.

The not only book provides information regarding changes in population/demography, but also it provides information related to possible effects of changes in demography for growth and income. Our study also pertains to changes in demography and their possible outcomes. Therefore, this book is quite relevant for the study.
