These reforms led to China’s integration into the global economy, which promoted growth and development. Since the integration of China to the global economy, its annual growth of real GDP has averaged 10% between 2004 and 2008, which is very high. However, due to the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), this rate of growth in real GDP slowed down to 8.7% in 2009. China’s government, suspecting this, implemented a US$586b fiscal stimulus package in November 2008 to maintain a growth of 8% between 2009 and 2012. This stimulus package did greatly for China’s growth as its real GDP was at 10% in 2010 and 9.2% in 2011.
Demographic trends in family life POPULATION OF THE UK * IN 1901 UK population was 38.2m by 2006 it had grown to 60.6 m * This population growth has been driven by natural change , every year since 1901 there's been more births than deaths. * From the 1980’s onwards net migration (which is immigration exceeding emigration) has been the main factor. * Between 2001 and 2004 net migration accounted for two thirds of the increase in UK population. Changes in birth rate * Only 716,000 children were born in 2004 , this is 34% fewer than in 1901 and 21% fewer than 1971. * The birth-rate is a history of fluctuations.
Shanghai is home to 23 million people in 2013, and is considered to be China's largest city. Today, China’s population has exceeded 1.2 billion people. To put that in perspective, China has about four times the amount of people as the United States of America. In addition to China’s extensive population, their history is just as profound. At first, kings ruled ancient China.
Although there has been in a decrease in birth rate in the UK, net migration has lead to slight increase in the total fertility rate in the UK. This is because, there are more young women moving from other countries to the UK since they have an above average fertility. There was change in position of women in the 20th century which contributed largely to declining of birth rates. The changes mainly include legal equality with men e.g. right to vote, more education opportunities for girls, change in women role in family and women are now able to have paid jobs.
However, the growth rate has been decreasing since then, and is projected to continue decreasing. The United Nations population projections out to 2100 (the red, orange, and green lines) show a possible peak in the world's population occurring as early as 2040. (contributors) The demographic transition is a model and theory that usually occurs in 4 stages describing the transition from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates that occurs as part of the economic development of a country. All countries undergo a transition during which death rates fall but birth rates remain high. Consequently, population grows rapidly.
Per the US Census Bureau single parents consist of “other families” which are households of unmarried couples. Single parents are 56 percent of other families and single mothers are 85 percent of single parents. We expect single parents to grow at a slightly lower-than-average rate of 18 percent between 1990 and 2010, but remain the bulk of all single parents in 2010, at nearly 8 million households. With the growing population of single mothers, there are also becoming a large number of single fathers. Currently 62 percent of single fathers are age 35 and older, compared to 48 percent of single mothers which are quite younger in age.
Firstly Brasilia has a high population of more than 100 people per km2 and this is a city that is in the centre-west of Brazil. The second anomaly is Manaus that has a moderate population in comparison with the rest of Brazil of between 10 – 50 people per km2 and is in an area surrounded by low population densities. The north and north west of Brazil is extremely sparsely populated which in many places has less than 1 person per km2. The highest population in the north is in Belem and has between 10 – 49 people per km2. This city borders with the north east of Brazil.
The Latin West, 1200-1500 The Western Europeans traditionally referred to themselves as Latins. Approximately 80 million Europeans were living rurally at the time. While China’s population decreased as a result of Mongol conquest, the European population revived due to a better economy, and possibly fewer major diseases. Also, warmer weather may have increased harvests and decreased mortality rates. The Black Death greatly diminished Europe’s population, originating in China and spread by Mongol conquests.
Asian American Gerald Trahan ETH/125 July 21, 2011 Jere Wilson Asian American The Asian American population of 17.3 million people in the United States as of 2010, which comprised of 5.6 percent of the total population in the United States, was a higher number then I was expecting. And also 2.6 million people that are Asian American that are five and older speak Chinese at home and more so after Spanish, Chinese is the most widely spoken non-English language in the United States. Fifty percent of Asian Americans that are twenty-five years or older have a bachelor’s degree or higher level of education, where it compares to twenty-eight percent of all Americans in that group. This number almost doubles all the other groups. Eighty-five
For example Meredith and Hoppough state “Per-person income in china has climbed from $16 a year in 1978 to $2,000 now” (Meredith and Hoppough 393). When readers hear these numbers they should be astounded. The fact that the yearly salary average raised $1984 in 29 years is astonishing, and to think that that is only possible because of globalization. This example strengthens their argument for globalization because there are actual numbers and studies done to prove what they are saying. Meredith and Hoppough are saying that globalization is good for the economy and then they are giving facts from credible sources to back up their statements.
